Prevent VM from startup

I have a Windows 7 VM on MacOS 10.12.5, The VM is not set to autostart at system startup, but for some reason the vm is permantently starting for some unknown reason... i want to start it, when i need it, but it starts in the backend which prevents the mac form going to sleep mode or causes confirmation dialogs on plugging in my iPhone.

Even when i suspend the vm can mean it is running again half an hour later...
