I don't run any W10 Virtualboxes currently, but I have in the past.
W10 can go into extended periods of high cpu usage while it is performing updates (or sending your private documents to Redmond, which ever you prefer to believe).
Sometimes these can render your machine almost unusable, EVEN on bare metal machines. Often these are related to applying for preparing for updates.
When you start digging into it you will find all sorts of processes and services running in the machine that you have to research to find out what they are, and start selectively killing them off. (Not all of these are Microsoft processes, but many are). I evaluate each one, and sometimes permanantly disable them if they are not essential.
Start putting an execution cap on the VM so you can still get something done in the host. (Limiting it to one CPU does not really help as much as an execution cap).
On further testing, I suspect the problem is on W10, as it's slower even when run "bare metal" on my notebook computer. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
