Force Shutdown VMware Wrokstation Error (failed to get exclusive lock on the configuration file --)

If you disable the vmware.exe process in the process this day, it does not matter. An error is fatal. Depressing -- (for example)

The error reported above indicates that a running process is using the "configuration" file, so it cannot obtain the lock of the configuration file, leading to failure.

Once we know the error, we can solve the problem. If a process is using this file, we can find it in the process. Of course, the first thing we think of is whether it is a virtual machine process. In the process manager, three virtual machine processes are found

Vmware-usbarbibrator.exe

Vmware-unity-helper.exe

Vmware-vmx.exe

My first thought was to kill vmware.exe and kill it. It was true that I had to start the VM again.
