Yes, I installed the guest tools right at first boot.

Have you checked in the VM's device manager that all devices are using virtio 
drivers (disk, disk controller, nic adapter etc)

Hi Gary,

That’s what I used when registering the ISO. Doesn’t seem to help at all 
unfortunately.

HI Alexandru

We use "Windows PV" OS type on our Windows VM's - this provides the Hyper-V 
enlightenments.

Subject: Windows VM performance in ACS

Hi everyone,

Is there anything that must be done to improve the performance of Windows VMs 
in ACS? I tried to deploy a W10 instance, with the virtio drivers, and the 
performance is very, very poor (for example it took almost 3 hours to install a 
CU, the actual setup took about 50 minutes and so on). The hypervisor kvm on a 
HP server, with ssd's for storage. In other apps there are those hyper-v 
enlightments that can be enabled for Windows guests and it really makes a 
difference, but I have no idea if this is a thing in ACS too. If someone has 
some info on this, please share.

Thank you!
