METHOD 1 - Kill just that VM which isn't responding
Using Powershell:
1) Get VM name
Get-VM
2) Find VM GUID
$VmGUID = (Get-VM 'Windows 11').id
3) Find the process ID for the VM
$VMWMProc = (Get-WMIObject Win32_Process | ? {$_.Name -match 'VMWP' -and $_.CommandLine -match $VmGUID})
4) Kill that process
Stop-Process ($VMWMProc.ProcessId) –Force
METHOD 2 - Restart the entire HyperV service (Force all VMs to shut down)
From Powershell:
Get-Service vmms | Restart-Service
