Fusion has definitely been mentioned and I was actually planning on giving it a try today (though at this point I won't get to it till the weekend).
I appreciate the suggestion.
cheers

No sympathy.
As a "working pro", I have a dedicated "work station" with all the whistles; and that ties me into the rest of the world and the entire MS stack.
You complain because your "Benz" parts won't work with your "Ford"...
Get a Dodge (Demon). 
(I think the "gaming rigs" provide some of the best value ... and device options).

I'd rather catch a bus than drive a dodge 
But seriously: I travel. I used to have a workstation but it's simply impractical.

TeamViewer.
Even "remote desktop" is a lot more useable than it used to be.
I "remote" from my LR into my developer machine when I'm being "social" (LOL).
Only thing I miss in this case is multiple monitors; though I haven't tried.

I spent about 10 years doing remote desktop to a main desktop and finally simply couldn't take it anymore. It's OK when you have a good connection (and mutli-monitor works fine with Remote Desktop) but no good when on a plane, or at a cafe with limited connection, or overseas, or in a place with poor and/or expensive internet.

I thought you'd say that.

On the road, I can do "house calls" if necessary; otherwise, the whole "space" is too small, uncomfortable and unproductive.

It’s not about relaxing (coding is actually one of my big relaxing pasttimes) it’s about being able to be in Australia, say, and spending my time working productively. If I have to remote then I often give up due to lag. If I can work locally ona laptop then things happen. Especially at a lovely cafe by the beach
Laptop or desktop is always going to be a personal choice that totally depends on the given situation.

Chiming in with the Fusion group. I'm on a Mid 2012 MBP (2.9 GHz i7/16 GB/1 TB SSD) and have been running Fusion for years with Win XP, 7, 8.1, and 10 (a little). All with some incarnation of VS from 2013 to 2017.
None of the kinds of problems you're seeing. I did once have some screen resolution issues, but that turned out to be a combination of Windows driver and screen resolution settings. And the VM setup always outperformed my similarly equipped work system (Dell/Windows).
I'd say starting your VM partition from scratch might be the best option. Windows has always done a pretty good job of recognizing the VM "hardware" and using the right drivers.
Hope it works out for you. Like you, I'd much rather carry my Mac on travel than any Windows system I've ever used.

Sure, but they probably wind up going in a ring
A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, navigate a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly.

Yep. And when they crash... just Barium.

If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

Some, so much so, that there seems to be a constant Radon common sense.

It seems like the best responses Argon and I'm afraid that what's left is Boron you. In a radical departure from the norm, I'll add ask: "Do Chemist do their trick-or-treating on Toluene?"
