bare-costly-wind 0 Posted August 16 Share Posted August 16 Hello all. I'm having an issue with running vms on VMware workstation after installing ESET Internet Security. I have used them for a long time before, so I know they should work fine on my PC. With ESET they run very slow and audio also became choppy. I found a similar thread about this issue, but it was closed. It's old, and the issue still persists. Not sure what to do here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Marcos 4,356 Posted August 16 Administrators Share Posted August 16 Since you are able to reproduce the issue, please carry on as follows: - in the advanced setup -> tools -> diagnostics enable advanced operating system logging - reproduce the issue - after 30-60 seconds stop logging - wait at least 30s - collect logs with ESET Log Collector and upload the generated archive. If too large to upload here, upload it to a file sharing service and drop me a message with a download link. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bare-costly-wind 0 Posted August 16 Author Share Posted August 16 Thanks for the reply, Marcos! Did the steps. The VM was started when I enabled advanced OS logging. I ran the vm for a bit, got it stuttering, shut it down, started it again, shut it down, then did the rest of the steps after "reproduce the issue". After disabling OS logging it took quite a bit to end the loading animation, I waited a bit after that. Used default profile and default settings, set log age limit to one day. I uploaded archive to Mega, I'll drop a link in a private message. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bare-costly-wind 0 Posted August 18 Author Share Posted August 18 Uninstalled ESET, restarted PC, the issue persisted. Seems not to be it. Thanks for the help, Marcos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not recommended due to vulnerabilities that exist in VM Workstation prior to ver. 16.2.4.

bare-costly-wind 0 Posted September 4 Author Share Posted September 4 That is true, though I'm only running legacy software on Windows 98 that is not connected to internet. I wonder what happened that it's working so slowly. I found and old installer on archive.org (verified with virustotal that it's the original), so used that to downgrade. Waiting for VMWare 17 I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bare-costly-wind 0 Posted September 14 Author Share Posted September 14 OK, so at some point Windows Hypervisor got enabled for me and VMware is not best friends with it. Followed instructions here to set hypervisorlaunchtype to off. Worked nicely, no more stutter and VMs are nice and fast. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/30496116/how-to-disable-hyper-v-in-command-line Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
