Please note I have LOTS of other, older macOS VMs here ranging from 10.8 Mountain Lion up to 10.14 Mojave and Catalina too and they do not suffer from same issues - minimizing windows in them will do the minimize at once, and not after 4-7 secs or 5+ minutes. Laptop has 4 cores/8 threads, but the other PC has only 4 cores/4 threads (being an old Intel Ivy Bridge Core i5 model).īoth computers run Windows 10 OS, Pro, 64-bit, version 20H2.


On my 2nd computer also with VMware Workstation 16.0 on it - a HP workstation laptop with a slightly more powerful Intel Core i7 CPU - I also get a similar freeze on minimizing any windows in macOS Big Sur VM, but on the laptop this is just 5-10 seconds long, so much more bearable. One more issue I have, ONLY on my macOS VM with macOS Big Sur 11.0.1 RC2 OS - trying to minimize any window in the VM will freeze the VM - it stops responding to anything - with my Intel Core i5 CPU heavily loaded for close to 5-6 minutes. Then the VM "unfreezes" and CPU load goes down to normal levels.
