I am in the process of moving off of Proxmox and into FreeBSD 14.1 / bhyve for my home vm server. (Using vm-bhyve)
I have noticed that Windows 11 guests seem to use considerably more cpu resources at idle than my Linux, Windows 10, and Windows Server 2022 VMs.
I have 1 migrated W11 VM, and 1 Fresh Install. Acording to
The VM server is a 11th Gen Intel I5 11700K (12 core System)
The Linux Server, Win 10, and Win Server 2022 are fresh Installs as well, and average 2 to 5% cpu at idle.
Has anyone else seen this before. I have tried googling, and searching the forum, but could not find any related content...
Here are the config files for the 2 win 11, and the win 10 guests.
Migrated Win 11 guest
Fresh Win 11 Guest
Fresh Win 10 Guest
Thanks!

btop
they average 50 to 100% cpu resources. From within the Guest Task manager shows only 5% CPU usage or so...The VM server is a 11th Gen Intel I5 11700K (12 core System)
