Troubleshooting Horizon 7 Client
You can solve most Horizon Client problems by restarting or resetting remote desktops or published applications, or by reinstalling Horizon Client.
There is a desktop pool setting when you create or edit a desktop pool where you can set to allow users to restart/reset their machines. It is not set in this lab so we will reset as the administrator from the Horizon Console.
You can also enable log collection and send log files to VMware for troubleshooting.

Desktop VM
You can perform a restart operation on a virtual desktop, which performs a graceful operating system restart of the virtual machine. You can perform a reset operation on a virtual machine without the graceful operating system restart, which performs a hard power-off and power-on of the virtual machine.
Click on Restart Desktop to perform a graceful OS restart of the VM.
Restart VM
We will Restart the Desktop, click OK.
Desktop Connection Lost
The connection you had open to the Desktop VM closes as the VM goes through a graceful shutdown.

Notice the status of the VM is at a state of either deleting or not present but it is no longer connected since we restarted it.
