While upgrading VMware Tools version to 10.0x in a NSX 6.x and VMware vCloud Networking and Security 5.5.x environment, the performance of the guest operating system in the virtual machine becomes slow and unresponsive. A number of operations like, logging in and logging off through an RDP session, response for an IIS website and launching applications become slow and unresponsive.
This issue occured due to a known issue with VMware Tools version 10.0.x. This issue is resolved in this release. For more information see KB 2144236.
Full Release Notes are available here.
