Troubleshooting VM Performance

  1. Exclude Virtual Machine Directories In Your Antivirus.
  2. Ensure Intel VT-x or AMD-V Is Enabled by checking the BIOS.
  3. Add more More Memory to the host and VM.
  4. Allocate More CPU to the VM.
  5. Put Your Virtual Machines on a SSD drive.
  6. Remove or reduce snapshots.
  7. Use separate physical and virtual hard disks – Install VM on a separate hard disk from the Host OS. Also store the paging file or swap partition on a different drive than the host operating system.
  8. Verify that host and VM networking settings are not impacting the performance of the virtual machine.
  9. Verify that the host operating system is working properly and is in a healthy state.
