VERY VERY slow start

[rof10395]

Dear Team,

since my upgrade on High Sierra and Desktop 13 (see attached config of my Computer and Parallels) the start of a virtual machine takes ages (in Detail >6 mins). I took a screenshot with a clock running (see attached photos) to prove my experience. This is, politely speaking, a very inconvenient situation. I found numerous threads, e.g. dealing with enabling USB support (which I did), but no final solution for the problem. Of course I did a restart of the VM and of the Mac...

I really appreciate an early response

A not too happy customer

I'm running
Version 14.0.1 (45154) and since I installed this onto the iMac 2017 27" running macOS Mojave (also have Intego anti-virus installed), everything is slow going. Please help!

Hey, did you try the suggested steps above, like Actions -> Reset ?
If not please try and provide us with the results

I'm running Mac OS Mojave 10.14.2 with Parallels Version 14.1.0 on a 27" iMac as well. I have tried the previous suggestions of taking a snapshot and then hitting Reset but my Windows 7 virtual machine is still stuck on the boot up screen. Please help!

Hello MichaelP40, Kindly go to Actions--> Stop and then restart the virtual machine to check with it.

Hi. If you VM works slow on the startup only, you can try the "selective startup" and check the issue.
Let us know the results, please.

Did you try the actions above? Selective startup for example.

Hi, what about the CPU usage on the Windows and Mac side? Is it 100% or more, or less? Did you try the selective start up and check the issue? When did this issue with slow performance start?

Yes CPU was maxing out and it appeared to be Cortana?

And did you performed any troubleshooting steps? Selective stratup, sfc /scannow command for example?
