Hello, 
 
On my Windows Server 2016 I have installed the VMware Workstation 14 Pro. Everything works fine with except for the CPU allocation. I would like to assign 8 vCPUs to guest server running also on Windows. But after booting the guest OS the CPU usage on the guest/host is jumping to 100% without any heavy workload software running on the guest. I have only start Chrome. If I reduce the vCPUs to 4 everything is works fine. Have anyone an idea what’s the issue here? 

Thanks

Hello Martin, 
 
This is strange, could you please send us your server configuration maybe this could be a hardware limitation on the host system?
