- Do one of the following:
- To shut down from an open virtual machine, from the toolbar of the virtual machine window, click Ctrl+Alt+Del. Or, you can press the CTRL+ALT+END key sequence.
- To shut down from a running virtual application, make sure the focus is on the application (click or restore it if necessary), and then press the CTRL+ALT+END key sequence.
- In the window that appears, click Shut down.
- The operating system will go through the shutdown sequence, and the resources will be released from the virtual machine.
