Hi,
I have a Windows 8.1 bhyve VM that I recently spun up. I have noticed high CPU usage from even the basic system idle processes, such as Windows Update, even maxing it to 100% of the guest CPU usage. I also noticed that when I RDP to it, the CPU usage goes down, but as soon as I disconnect, it maxes out again (according to netdata).
I have given it 2 vCPUs, 4GB of RAM, a dedicated NIC igb3, and installed the virtio drivers per the steps in this post: https://forums.freenas.org/index.php?threads/freenas-11-0-rc3-windows-vm-locking-up.54986/. It gets its IP address via DHCP from my home router.
Any Linux VMs I run have no such issues. I have tried running this VM by itself with no other jails or VMs spun up.
I'm sure I'm just missing something simple here. :p What other things can I try? Thanks!
