Even though you disable VM restart priority" and "VM monitoring", until VM is in powered ON state, vSphere is going to say "VM" is protected.
1. if VM restart policy is disabled & VM monitoring is enabled: Host is up and VM is up, vSphere HA will keep in protected list.
>> when host fails, VM can not be restarted on other available host. Even If failed host comes back, still VM will not be restarted, it will be powered OFF and now vSphere HA will remove that VM from protected list.
>>When Guest OS fails, HA will restart that Guest on the same host and HA continue to keep in protected list.

3.if VM restart policy is Enabled & VM monitoring is disabled: Host is up and VM is up, vSphere HA will keep in protected list.
>> When host fails, VM will be restarted on other available host. , After restart , it will be powered ON and HA continue to keep that VM in protected list

Note that there is difference between VM failure and GOS failure.
let me know if you have any doubt.
