I have a late 2012 iMac and have been struggling with terrible Win 10 performance in a Parallels VM because of almost constant 100% disk usage. I was almost ready to trash the VM and use an old Windows 7 laptop instead. This article in CNET about 10 things to disable in Win 10 solved it for me. I don't know which of the 10 did the most good, but it worked. https://www.cnet.com/g00/how-to/10-...r=aHR0cHM6Ly9kdWNrZHVja2dvLmNvbS8=&i10c.dv=19 There is also a registry hack that Microsoft suggested which I tried some time ago with no effect.
