Because your virtual machine is running (or is at a saved state). You cannot change most of the settings if the VM is not shut down.
Do NOT send me Personal Messages (PMs) for troubleshooting, they are simply deleted.
Do NOT reply with the "QUOTE" button, please use the "POST REPLY", at the bottom of the form.
If you obfuscate any information requested, I will obfuscate my response. These are virtual UUIDs, not real ones.

Thanks Socratis. This was so simple and i was not aware of this that my VM is running. When i powered off the VM, i am able to change that setting. Thanks :)
