# Disconnecting from a VM

To disconnect from a VM that was connected to with a Remote Java Application launch configuration:

1. In the Debug view, select the launch.
2. Click the Disconnect button in the view's toolbar. Communication with the VM is terminated, and all threads in the remote VM are resumed. Although the remote VM continues to execute, the debug session is now terminated.
