Fix: vmcloak taking forever to start Windows when setting up Cuckoo
If VMCloak is taking an extended amount of time to start a Windows VM when setting up Cuckoo Sandbox, there are a few common issues to consider and steps you can take to troubleshoot the problem: 1. **Resource Allocation**: Ensure that your host machine has enough resources (CPU, RAM, and storage) to run both VMCloak and the Windows VM.
