I have mitigations off for the Windows 10 VM I'm using to play games. I currently have them OFF as don’t think it’s an issue for the Mojave VM, and the BootCamp VM is rarely used (and it’s slow enough with disk buffering off). This will slow down the VM but at least it works.Ī question for you guys - SideChannel Mitigations on or off? VMWare nagged me about them until I stopped it. Creating & running a VM from Boot Camp will fail unless you turn off disk buffering (IIRC) in Advanced Options. VMWare community chatter suggests this has been broken for about a year and no fix is in sight. Creating a VM from my System Restore partition. a Windows 10 quasi-VM from my Boot Camp. Nice and small and runs 32bit apps and tests any suspicious files. a Mojave VM created from the Apple Store Mojave installer.
That’ll save me some ssd space.Īll working fine (almost) here on Big Sur with 2 VMs I didn’t know the free version offered snapshots.
