To force Shutdown in the virtual machine menu you have a Turn Off button. Alternatively, go to to the Virtual Machine and select Show Package Contents.Find the file ending with ".vmem" and move it to the trash and reboot the Virtual Machine.If you select Power Off, that’s like pulling the plug from the power of the virtual machine, and it’ll shut right off.
