After exiting VMWare player, my main OS (Windows 7) lags and slows down tremendously. The HDD is seeking excessively. I see that the issue is that it's swapping tons of pages rapidly. This lasts for about 5-10 minutes.
I followed the instructions here http://twigstechtips.blogspot.ca/2009/03/fix-vmware-slow-to-release-swapped.html but they don't work. It was 3 years ago so I think the fix is outdated.
Or rather I don't know where this guest.vmx
file is. The closest thing I could find to a config file is C:\Users\Jack\AppData\Roaming\VMware\preferences.ini
Anyone have a new solution?
