Hi,
I had a very strange problem.

I have a server with 32GB of memory

When I started a vm with 4GB of memory, the Windows virtual machine started normally.

And on the host it showed that I was consuming 5GB

However if I tried to configure vm to use 8GB or more (for example 16GB)

on the host still showed that I was consuming 5GB

and the virtual machine started extremely slow.

For example, windows usually starts in a few seconds, however in this case it was at least 30 minutes in the loading screen.

So I reduced the memory of the VM to 4GB which returned to normal.

---

After restarting the server everything has returned to normal and so far it has not happened again.

What could have happened?
