What is the Adaptive Hypervisor option?

Answer

The Adaptive Hypervisor technology helps you to distribute your Mac CPU resources between macOS (primary or host OS) and the guest OS (your virtual machine) in the most efficient way.

The Adaptive Hypervisor technology automatically allocates your Mac CPU resources between the virtual machine and macOS applications, depending on which application you are working with at the moment.

If you switch to the macOS window - priority of the virtual machine processes will be lowered, relocating CPU resources to macOS.
