    Faster Windows 10 host with several Win 10 guests


    I run several windows 10 virtual machines at the same time on my workstation at work. Sometimes when they were idle, the the Disk IO would hit 100% due to windows defender doing a scan, etc... (checked via resource monitor) Well that would clobber the host and other VMs. And when two VM's started doing it, game over.

    So I followed the instructions on this site (nice work BTW) to turn off windows defender for the VM's and rebooted. Wow, what a difference. Login was faster too. The 100% disk hit after login was shorter.

    Now I may put on an AV program where I can control what its up to. Webroot is my favorite for performance in VMs. But most of the VMs aren't used to browse the web / email, etc...

    Just wanted to share!

    :)

    Using win 10 and a Hyper-V virtual client

    Thank you. Can I open one application from the host client(win 10) and another application from the guest client (win xp) at the same time? Can I access and use the open windows displayed from the two applications on the fly?

    The host client AND the guest client are accessing the same server to retrieve data.

    purchase license upgrade from windows 7 to 10 since if I upgrade now, VM will run only in Windows 10 host PC

    what you mean "... backup and export.."???

    After install VM [guest win 10] on host Windows 10 can transfer to Mac? I listen win 10 sees the hardware?

    can I transfer win 10 VM from PC to Mac...?
