VM Guest start up very slow for some users

Hi,

We have a desktop computer that hosts multiple VM images

In order to work on these VMs, we connect to the desktop using RDP and then use VMWorkstation to start the images

(The host machine in Windows 10)

After we finish with the image, we pause it (not shutting down)

For some users, the startup is very fast (seconds) and for some it can take up to an hour to start - for the same image

All the users are defined as Administrators on the host machine

Has anyone encountered such a problem?

Any idea on how to fix?

Any help will be appreciated.
