I have a task stuck in the GUI, the VM is running and already sent new stop/start tasks that finished OK, but the initial task is still stuck in the "running" state in the GUI, how to make it right?
Have you tried to double click on the "pending" start task and click on the "Stop" button? It should be located in the top menu of the task viewer window (right under the "Overview"/"Status" tabs).
Yes, I have. It stays in "please wait" for some time, then exits like it should have stopped, but it does not.
I should say that the very same action can be re-initiated without any problem while the old instance keeps "running".
