I’ve been running a Windows 11 VM on my Unraid server for a while now. It’s reasonably well specced. Threadripper 3960X, RTX 3090 passed through, dedicated SSD. On paper it should feel very close to bare metal.
In reality, it didn’t.
Nothing obviously broken, but general UI usage felt a bit sluggish. Windows took a little longer to open things than expected. With the help of my ChatGPT sidekick, I decided to go through the config properly and see what could be improved. Logging it here mainly for my own reference later.
