Use Ctrl+Alt+Delete to Shut Down a Guest

You can use the Ctrl+Alt+Delete key sequence to shut down or log off of a guest operating system.

Prerequisites

Power on the virtual machine.

Procedure

• Select the virtual machine and select Virtual Machine > Send Ctrl+Alt+Delete.
  This option is the same as pressing Ctrl+Alt+Delete on your keyboard. On Windows hosts, this command might be received by both the host operating system and the virtual machine, even when Workstation Player has control of input.
• If the command is received by both the host operating system and the virtual machine, press Ctrl+Alt+Ins on the keyboard.
  The command is received solely by the virtual machine and shuts down or logs out of the guest operating system.
