You will not find it in its compatibility lists. VMware makes no statement that it supports the use of macOS guests on Workstation. That’s absurd.īut (and I know you said that you don’t want to hear this) with respect to macOS on Workstation, VMware is not selling a “crippled product”. There are user-generated workarounds with either disabling Hyper-V or manipulating power settings, but VMware has been silent on the issues. I will agree with you that VMware has ignored performance issues with Workstation on Alder Lake CPUs when using Hyper-V as the hypervisor. (don't tell me MacOS Guests are not supported - this whole VmWare thing is a massive hack) I use MacOS Guest and performance is abysmal with or without hyper-V (after fiddling with many registry setting etc).

No difference, same problem will not be fixed until users file a class action lawsuit against vmware - for selling a crippled product with glaring defect at full price.

Should I consider that fact as a bug or some problem which is going to be fixed soon or perhaps that is the price we have to pay for running VMware and Hyper-V side by side? I hope that latter is not true because performance loss is to big and it would make entire feature entirely useless.Ĭan you provide some tghoughts or answers here? Am I the only one who experiences huge performance loss on Windows 10 host running VMware and Hyper-V together?10 So it looks like there is clearly a performance problem when VMware guest is used with active Hyper-V hypervisor. It all went back to normal when Hyper-V hypervisor was disabled.

In both environments the same problem was observed and performance of VMware guest was bad when Hyper-V hypervisor was active. I've repeated tests on two physical hosts - one was HP ZBook G5 (Intel Xeon) notebook and the other one was was Ryzen 2700X desktop. My guest system was Windows Server 2012 R2. compilation time was at least ~35% slower). And performance was bad again.Tearing, high CPU load and performance degradation (e.g. I've disabled Hyper-V with command:īcdedit /set hypervisorlaunchtype autoĪnd check again after restart. I have checked scenario where Hyper-V hypervisor not active. It is just Hyper-V hypervisor - if it is active you are done and VMware performance is gone. You don't need to have running any Hyper-V guests to observe huge performance loss in VMware guest. One of my apps has dropped frame rate to 20fps whereas it typically used to average about 60fps. VMware guests became much slower - one could even see some tearing when scrolling windows accompanied by significant CPU load reported by CPU utilization meters. However that possibility came with a huge performance loss of VMware guests (I didn't check or care about Hyper-V guests here). Indeed I was able to run VMware guests and Hyper-V (WSL2) guests at the same time. I have installed VMware Player 16 on latest Windows 10 (20H2, I have also tied 20H1) and spent some time working in such environment.

Ability to run VMware and Hyper-V side by side was looking really great. However from time to time there is a need to run Hyper-V guest. My working environment is based on guests running on VMware - with reasonable performance, stability and support for accelerated graphics.

VMWare Player (and workstation) since version 15.5.5 supports mode where VMware guests and Hyper-V (or WSL2) guests can be run side by side on Windows 10 machine.
