Hello,
I have installed Win10 fully updated in my VM and noticed startup is extremely slow, with disk usage at 95~100% over 15 minutes or more.
I have only installed MS Office 2016, Avira antivirus, Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome and some other minor apps.
I think it's normal some disk activity at startup due to antivirus, but it ends after 1~2 minutes.
After that, I can see in Task Manager that the main responsible for disk usage are:
- Superfetch: I have disabled it.
- Micorsoft Compatibility Telemetry: I tried to disable it but it always returns.
- Microsoft Office Click-to-Run (SxS): when I disabled it, MS Office stops working.
Curiously I have no problems with my host. It seems that Win10 knows it's running on a VM and starts those processes furiously.
Please, does anyone know what's happening and how to solve the problem?
Thanks.
