      When trying to edit a VM, you get this message in the title bar:

      Read-only as vmrest is operating the VM

      It’s read-only because either:

      • The VM was shut down improperly, suspended/paused, causing a lock file to exist on the VM.
        To fix this scenario, either shut down the VM and delete the .lck files, or power up and shut down the VM properly.
      • The file permissions are set to read-only.

      This should fix the Read-only as vmrest is operating the VM issue.
