I decided to try Windows 10 32 bit in a virtual machine. After setting up the VM, it seems like my CPU (Core i5 3320m @ 2.6GHz) won't clock over 1.20 GHz or go above 50% utilization, whether or not the VM is open.
My system was previously very responsive, but is now very laggy. I have uninstalled the VM, but no improvement.
The only other changes are that I enabled CPU virtualization (via BIOS) about 2 weeks ago. I ran Windows Update today. The problem started today, after installing and running the VM.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated :)
This is my main computer for school & work.
My system:
Lenovo x230T Laptop
Core i5 3320m @ 2.6GHz
180gb Intel SSD 500 series
16GB DDR3 RAM
Windows 8 64-bit
Edit: The Windows 10 VM has been uninstalled but VMWare is still installed on my computer.
