OneDrive and File Indexing Is Killing My Virtual Machine

I started noticing my VM lagging badly over the last couple of weeks. I frequently notice that especially at start up that the services for Windows Search Indexing and OneDrive Sync Engine are eating up at least 30% of my CPU – sometimes more. And of course it’s banging on my disk as well. For now, I’m going to pause syncing, but I think there’s a more serious issue. I’ve seen other posts online that I’m not alone.

I’m hoping Microsoft will provide an update that will correct this as it is becoming more and more of an impediment.
