Lot of users are facing some lag issues while using VMware workstation 8. With new VMware workstation 8 users are facing some problems. Instead of team, folders are now used for teaming virtual machines. Read these nextVMware workstation 8 is upgraded from earlier version, VMware Workstation 7. This topic has been locked by an administrator and is no longer open for commenting. Is it freezing totally, or just running very slooooooooooooowly? If the latter - the look at increasing resources - both on the host and in the VMs. Verify your account to enable IT peers to see that you are a professional.

JFEB This person is a verified professional. That said, this sounds like a resource issue. Which of the following retains the information it's storing when the system power is turned off? Get answers from your peers along with millions of IT pros who visit Spiceworks. To continue this discussion, please ask a new question. If you only have 1 core, Windows updates will crush performance most of the time on a VM. And just like Rod said, if you don't have a virtualization rights license, you can't do what your doing! Lastly make sure your CPU is clean and dusted and so is your power supply. Well if it's freezing you may want to check your ram sticks to make sure you don't have one that's bad. The Dannon Project is an IT service provider. This is making it really hard to work.While not related to the issue, if you are not licensed to run this, it's pointless troubleshooting as you would have to remove it. Everything was fine with Win7 and Win10 as hosts and then bam, started having issues and no bueno.Īny suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

My gut is kinda telling me that something in Windows 10 changed.
Vmware workstation 10 freezes drivers#
Reinstall Windows 10 from scratch on Host, and set up a completely fresh Win 10 Guest (after testing previous guest).ĭisable floppy drive in VMware (and in config) and in virtual BIOISĭisable 3D acceleration both within the machine config as well as turned down all in-UI effects down to virtually nill.Įnsured all drivers were updated, and then stepped back a version to make sure a recent update didn't break something.Įxcluded VM locations and file types from AV scans.ĩ60 Pro m.2 NVMe C drive (Vmware Workstation application installed here, performs in excess of 860MB/s)Ĩ50 EVO SATA D drive (Dedicated wholly to VMs, less than half full, regularly performs in the ~480MB/s range) Update firmware for motherboard and hard drives. Move guest files from spinning WD Black to 850 EVO, move OS and VMWare Workstation from 850 EVO to 960 Pro. Then it rockets up and saturates SATA.ĭefrag everything.

Usage never reaches the full drive speed until I suspend the VM and it writes out memory to disk. I have noticed that general physical disk usage (D drive where the VMs are) only peak around 9-11MB/s and typically never exceed that. Disk usage during boot time maxed out at around 7MB/s with a couple of very small 23MB/s bursts. It takes 50 seconds between when I hit 'Play' and when I see the Windows 10 logo, and a total of 2:03 from when I hit Play until I'm at login. Starting the Windows 10 host seems slower than it used to be as well.

During Windows 10 guest freezes, the Windows 7 guest appears unaffected. Tomorrow's day of use will really tell if it is fully unaffected and the clicking thing is largely psychosomatic. A Windows 7 guest is to a great degree almost completely unaffected, but some clicks don't seem to register well. Installations proceeded quickly, normally, and without any negative behavior. It persists after a total reinstall of Host and Guest operating systems. Performance counters and logs show nothing out of the ordinary before, during, or after the freeze within the guest. CPU, memory and disk usage all remain low when the guest freezes, both within the guest and on the host. The host is completely unaffected when the guest freezes.

Nothing changed hardware or software wise except for updates between when it started this and now, about two weeks ago. Clicks often get malformed into click-drag. Audio (such as system chimes) stop, and then resume and stutter until they end. Clicks do not register until after the system unfreezes all clicks. The mouse still moves, but whatever icon state it was in (arrow, hourglass, hand, etc.) is stuck for that period of time.

Now every 20-45 seconds the system freezes, unresponsive against clicks or UI I/O for up to a minute. Maybe an audio hiccup now and again under heavy load. My Windows 10 guest used to run flawlessly. The title/subject of the thread kinda 'explains it all'. I also have a Windows 7 guest that I'm testing this issue with.

I have VMWare Workstation 12.5.5 (latest update level), running Windows 10 Pro 圆4 as host and as guest.
