  1. VmmemWSA process - How to stop it from running when no VM is running


    I recently have came across this process that is using about 340 MB of RAM. I read that turning off unmark/ uncheck hyper v would fix it but it does not. I have been searching for awhile now but I have not been able to find any way to fix this.

    :)

    Running your Browser in a VM?

    • Install VMware Player or Virtualbox, VMware being faster in my experience
    • Create a VM with sufficent RAM HD and all CPU cores
    • Install Ubuntu/Linux Mint/Debian or some lightweight distro with Xcfe or LXDE
    • Install VMware/Virtualbox tools
    • Almost any distro comes with Firefox
    • Install Ublock Origin/Noscript/Ghostery
    • Disable cookies with a whitelist/use private browsing.
    In my experience, running a browser through a VM can slow down scrolling smoothness, video playback and increase ping delay
