    I just read in the release notes for 20.4.0 that this feature has been eliminated. I am one of the users who does set a manual configuration for my Windows VM - I have a program that does use plenty of CPU/memory, so I often assign it 10 CPU's and 64 gb of memory (I have 96 gb of memory on a M3 Max, so that leaves 4 CPU's and 32 gb memory for the Mac side). The recommendation shows 4 CPU's and 8 gb RAM for the Windows VM.
    Am I just stuck on 20.3.x, or are there other suggestions for managing my Windows VM?

    I also have the same problem, and it's even worse because it's limited to 6GB RAM. I don't understand this limitation. I need a solution.

    I have the same problem and find it outrageous that they removed this ability. Why the downgrade?
    Is there any plan to add back the ability to do manual configurations in the future?
