What happened?

Pressing the VM window close button while the VM is Paused shows an error notification before the "Close Virtual Machine" dialog appears:

Failed to acquire console parameter.
Invalid machine state Paused when checking if the guest entered the ACPI mode.
Result Code: VBOX_E_INVALID_VM_STATE (0x80bb0002)
Component: ConsoleWrap
Interface: IConsole {6ac83d89-6ee7-4e33-8ae6-b257b2e81be8}

The close dialog then opens and works normally (Save state / Power off are fine, "Send the shutdown signal" is greyed out as expected).

How can we reproduce this?

  1. Start any VM.
  2. Pause it (Host+P).
  3. Click the VM window's close (X) button.

Did you upload all of your necessary log files, screenshots, etc.?

  • Yes, I've uploaded all pertinent files to this issue.
