VM: Supervisor watchdog tries to restart Home Assistant after I shutdown VM via Hypervisor

Each time I shutdown my VMWare Home Assistant VM via Hypervisor (VMWare) using the below command to gracefully shutdown Home Assistant:

C:\Program Files (x86)\VMware\VMware Player\vmrun.exe -T player stop "C:\Users\MKANET\VMware VMs\HASSIO\HASSIO.vmx"

…I can immediately see on the Home Assistant console that Home Assistant OS is shutting down without any errors; and, quietly closes the VM/console.

However, when I bootup my VM again, I noticed that the Supervisor log has the below log entry; which seems to suggest the Supervisor watchdog service thinks Home Assistant “Failed” instead of Home Assistant shutdown gracefully.

23-08-31 11:49:32 WARNING (MainThread) [supervisor.homeassistant.core] Watchdog found Home Assistant failed, restarting...

Is there a way to shutdown my Home Assistant VM from Hypervisor without the Supervisor watchdog service trying to restart the Home Assistant again; and, not thinking Home Assistant has “failed”? There is no other way for me to perform a graceful shutdown via Hypervisor.
