I recently got back into Virtual Machines and found the performance terrible on Windows 11.
I couldn't figure out why. There was noticeable input lag and even moving windows around was sluggish.
I looked on Reddit and elsewhere and got advice about installing tools or configuring the VM differently but eventually just had a feeling that it had something to do with security on Windows. So after a lot of trial and error I found this option:
Now, I am not recommending you disable this. But on my home box, that is behind firewalls and I am using myself in relative isolation, I felt comfortable turning this off when doing VM work. Doing so brought VM speed back to where you would expect it.
Hoe this helps.
