Killing a virtual machine

You can try to kill a virtual machine if it stops responding (e.g. renderer problems often result in this) or there is a status mismatch between the Manager and the actual status of the VM.

Basically, this operation tries to find the 86Box.exe process that's associated with the particular VM and kill it. If it can't find the process or can't kill it for whatever reason, an error message is shown instead.

However, you should keep in mind this can cause data loss, so I don't recommend using this option unless it's really necessary. You should stop your virtual machines with the Stop option whenever that's possible.
