hi Wang,

On VSR2, the VM can only use a max of one physical core. That's the
limitation today, may be addressed in a future version of MSVS.

For the settings, I think it's a matter of understanding - max capacity is
what it's defined as, and you can set the VM to utilise part of the max
capacity (i.e. set a ceiling) so that other processes don't get bogged down
- useful for apps that may run-away in a VM. Reserve capacity is useful
to enable a VM to respond more quickly from idle.

HTH,
Eugene Tan
