February 16, 20206 yr Fro the UNRAID VM GUI, when I try to stop the Win10 VM nothing happens. When I try to restart the Win10 nothing happens. (see attached screen shot) Added diagnostics to attachments I am missing a Win10 driver to allow these controls to work? tower-diagnostics-20200215-1801.zip Edited February 16, 20206 yr by newmember
February 16, 20206 yr Is the VM stuck on a Windows prompt asking you if you want to force close a program or something?

It is up to that OS to act on the signal. As was mentioned in this case maybe Windows is stuck? Having said that I have often thought that there should also be a ‘Reset’ option as well that is effectively a Force Stop followed by a ‘Start’ so it works regardless of the OS state in the VM and is like pushing the physical Reset button on a real PC.

Like Win10 has froze. But most of the time I would like to 'stop' Win10 from the UNRAID GUI instead of having to log into WIn10 and shutdown.

My Win10 VM's + Ubuntu VM's would, without fail, shutdown if I stop it from the GUI. If it doesn't do it for yours, you might want to check your Power Options for Power and sleep button settings as the first suspect. Btw, if your VM freezes then only a Force Stop will work.

So today when i finally got to the point when i want to setup a reliable VM backup, and make the VM backup script to work properly , i stumbled upon this post. My settings were proper tho , when pressing power button > shut down. so i changed the option to whatever , then back to shutdown , and now it works. TLDR - windows and its features
