When I have a VM running, within the VM itself and also within the host I have a frequent mouse and keyboard stutter/lag, where everything freezes for 2-3 seconds as mouse/keyboard events queue up.

If I shut down the VM and shut down Hyper-V, this stutter continues on the host until I reboot.

Here is the strange part.....if I open Task Manager, the stutter goes away. In fact, as long as I have Task Manager open, there is no stutter even while the VM is running.

This is happening only on my home Dell XPS 8960 Desktop running Windows 11 Pro.

This does NOT happen on my work Dell Precision laptop running Windows 11 Enterprise.
