Same happens opening Windows Task Manager, my older server rig used to lock up frequently, stalling programs like Home Assistant, and the only thing I had to do to fix it was remote in and open Task Manager. CPU usage dropped to between 70% and 30%.
This, incidentally, was why I was convinced I needed better hardware for a dedicated Proxmox rig. I was very wrong. With Windows, I can barely run three services (HA, AgentDVR, Emby) alongside their stupid NTFS scan and antivirus. With Proxmox I can run 20 services with no issue. CPU is usually 60%-70% with everything.
Yeah that explains it lol. Fwiw, if you ever want to try windows as a hypervisor again, server editions can run for 180 days on a trial license and you can buy legit product keys from dodgy resellers online for like $10. I’d go that route for running any kind of real services.

I’m running like 18 machines inside of hyper-v and don’t have that problem. Were you using a consumer version of windows or something?
Yes aha, Windows 10 Home, 22H2 update. Only Windows OS I owned and this was before I tried Linux

If you are going to use a illegal copy of Windows don’t spend $10
Just use the mass grave scripts
