    Host - Windows 11 24H2

    ------------------------------

    Add "mks.enableDX12Presentation=FALSE" to "C:\Users\[USER_NAME]\AppData\Roaming\VMware\preferences.ini"

    Peformance and cursor movement were extremely slow in XP guest and on VM-BIOS

    After adding the "mks.enableDX12Presentation=FALSE" to "C:\...\preferences.ini", the slowness went away.

    I think this will apply to other Windows versions as well as XP.

    Absolute legend. Thanks, friend. Been struggling with this for ages and disabling dx12 sorted me right out.
