I set up a VM on my Windows 10 home PC. I have a Ryzon 7, 64Gb @ 3200Mhz... it's a decent machine. However, my VM runs very, very slowly... painfully slow. I am even running Linbuntu... the light OS. Is there a possibly obvious issue that I'm missing?

If you like to use Sticky Notes, do yourself a huge favour and stop using the Windows 10 Sticky Notes tool. Instead, go to [Zhorn Software](https://www.zhornsoftware.co.uk/stickies/) and download Stickies by Tom Revell. It works much better, has more features, is very well documented and is very intuitive.
