I'm still on vmware 11.1.4 and noticed a substantial slowdown with Win10

Hi Greg,
I am running VMWare Workstation on a Windows 7 machine. I have multiple
Windows 10 VMs and haven't had any problems. If there is anything you would
like me to check on my setup, I will be happy to answer any questions.
Cheers
David
