Windows 10 VM slow

[Anon_the_Nine]

Hi so i just created a windows 10 VM and its very slow when i try to use anything. When idling it seems to be fine in task manager using not much resources however anytime i perform any interaction it spikes in CPU usage and becomes very slow. I have set windows 10 to use Virtio drivers so i don't believe thats the issue. I have allocated it 4 virtual CPU's with 6Gb of Ram. I am also connected to the VM via RDP.

Apologies if i haven't provided the correct info as i am new to VM please let me know if you need anything extra you need to help diagnose the issue. Thanks in advanced.

Hardware specs?
FreeNAS version?
Specs assigned to the VM?

Perhaps i installed the VM incorrectly? I just followed the instructions in the UI and googled issues and found that using a virtio NIC resolved the slow issue of windows which isn't the case for me at least.

Perhaps if you would like to provide me with other steps i could follow to re-install it if you think that will fix it?
