VM super slow for basic operations like minimizing windows

Guys, I need help.

Hello, I am quite new to the Google Cloud Platform universe.

I created a VM to use 3D modeling programs (like Blender).

I installed it on Windows Server 2022, but everything on the VM is extremely slow, from opening the browser to typing something in Notepad.

I don't know how to identify what is actually slow:

1. The computer is the E2-standard-8 with 100GB SSD.

2. The server I chose is in São Paulo, and the ping is around 30ms on average.

3. CPU, RAM, SSD usage are all below 30%.

I am connecting to the VM using the native Windows 11 Remote Desktop application.

Could someone help me?

 

Edit: 

I created another VM with a server in Chile, and it's slow too, a bit faster than the one in São Paulo, but still impossible to work on. I asked Google Gemini, and it told me that it could be outdated drivers.

I downloaded Driver Booster to find updated drivers, and it says all drivers are already up to date.

I don't know what to do.
