Can't change networking type

I change my networking type from bridged to NAT.  However now I'm trying to change it back and the option to change it back is not selectable / greyed out.  What causes this?

Shutdown the Virtual machine. Quit VMware Fusion.

Open activity monitor in Mac. In search field, type vm

Kill any processes that start with vm or vmnet.

Once cleared, start Fusion and check if you are able to change the networking for the Virtual machine
