Today I upgraded VMware Fusion and a suspended Virtual Machine would not start. The recommendation was to change some CPU advanced settings and restart, however, my VM was in a Suspended state and would not start and would not power down in a typical way.
I found this little trick to power down the VM.
If your VM has been suspended and you can't make the above changes, then you can go to the menu
-> Virtual Machines -> Hold down the Option (Windows users -> Alt) key and choose "Power Off".
After that, you should be able to make the changes so you can boot your VM again.
NOTE: When I first brought up the menu, "Power Off" was greyed out but sure enough, when you hold the option key (OSX) you are able to select it.
