I will update this blog post when I get some news.This article applies to all 7.x versions of Citrix Provisioning, including 2109, LTSR 1912 CU4, 1909, and LTSR 7.15.39 (aka LTSR 7.15 CU8). When VMFS 6 and Snapshots comes into play, you will ran into this performance issue.

But VMware and Microsoft needs to get this fixed fast! Just to make this clear: You will face the same issues, regardless if you run Windows 10 in a VM, use Windows 10 with Horizon View, or Windows 10 with Citrix. I don’t care if the root cause is VMFS 6 or Windows 10. The issue is identified to be due to some guest OS behavior change in this version of windw.r.t thin provisioned disks and snapshots, this has been confirmed as a bug and will be fixed in the following releases – 6.5 U3 and 6.7U3, which will be released within End of this year (2019). The “official” statement of the VMware support is: Space reclamation is enabled or disabled.VMware ESXi 6.5 or 6.7 (regardless from build level).According to the posted test results, the issue occurs under the following conditions. What do we know so far? In October 2018 (!), shortly after the release of Windows 10 1809, a thread came up in the VMTN ( windslow). Image by Manfred Antranias Zimmer from Pixabay In their case, another IT company installed the Cisco HyperFlex solution and the engineer was unaware of this issue. A short investigation showed, that this issue was well known, and even VMware is working on this. We talked about this issue and they mentioned, that this was related to Windand VMFS 6. One of my customers told me that they have massive performance problems with a Horizon View deployment at one of their customers. I can confirm, that Windows 1903 is also affected. The only workaround is to place VMs on VMFS 5 datastores, or avoid the use of snapshots if you have to use VMFS 6. A fix for this issue will be available with ESXi 6.5 U3 and 6.7 U3. TL DR: This bug is still up to date and has not been fixed yet! Some user in the VMTN thread mentioned a hotpatch from VMware, which seems to be pulled. See KB67426 (Performance issues with Windows 10 version 1809 VMs running on snapshots) for more information.
