VM Memory Usage in XOA
-
I have a couple of Windows VMs that show maximum usage of memory in XOA but Windows show a much lower usage. Also these VMs seemed to have performance issues. A little history, the VMs having these issues were migrated from Xenserver 7.0. Thinking it was a Xen driver problem, I've uninstalled the old xen agent and ran the Windows Update Tools in XOA but it doesn't seems to fix the issue. Any clue would be appreciated.

Hi,
Can you check if you are using static memory for this VM?

@olivierlambert I have it set the same as the other Windows VMs 8Gib/8Gib
-
What is the Windows version? Can you reproduce with a fresh install of the same OS?

@olivierlambert Currently the issue is on two Windows 2016 servers that were migrated from Hyper-V, then to XS 7.0, then XCP-ng 8.2. Can't seem to find any Hyper-V guest tools to uninstall on them. A fresh install of Windows doesn't have any issues. What would you recommend for Windows XCP-ng guest tools? There's so many links on the forums, not sure which would be the best. That may be my issue.

there are two diffrent options: https://xcp-ng.org/docs/guests.html#windows
The first one is opensource and the second is from critix. Check out the website and choose on, or test both (snapshot of your vm and test -> revert if it fails )
