What is the proper shut down of Windows-based VMs?

[Bugman1400]

For W10, what is the proper way to shut down the VM? Should I use Plugin's Stop, Force Stop, or use the Power/Shut down in the W10 VM?

Use the normal "Stop VM" in the gui or the Windows 10 Shutdown (They are exactly the same). If a VM wont shut down you can use force stop.
