title: Laravel Homestead/Vagrant/Virtualbox is slow on Windows
body: <p>I have installed <code>Laravel Homestead/Vagrant/Virtualbox</code> on <code>Windows</code> as it said on <a href="https://laravel.com/docs/5.6/homestead" rel="noreferrer">official site</a></p>
  
  <p>But it is really slow. Page update takes about 5 seconds.</p>
  
  <p>And it is not only my observation. <a href="https://laracasts.com/discuss/channels/general-discussion/for-those-who-find-homesteadvagrantvirtualbox-slow-on-windows?page=1" rel="noreferrer">Laracast</a> has a discussion about it. </p>
  
  <p>The laracast forum has some interesting ideas, but it is a mess there (sorry Jeffery), it is hard to understand which ideas are accepted and which is declined.</p>
  
  <p>Here on Stackoverflow we have a good voting system to vote up working solutions, and request authors to give more details for each solution individually. Please post your solutions and experiences.</p>
  
  <p>From my experience - there was a situation once when windows run updates and shut down my system forcefully, and when it started it was incredibly fast (10 times faster at least) but after next restart it went slow again. Now I know that something may be done to speed it up, it is not a "<code>slow hardware case</code>" it is a software config case!</p>
  
  <p>Im using Windows-10 on Intel-Core-i7, with Oracle Virtualbox-5.2.12... (everything is latest and there is nothing to update)</p>
