The same has been happening to me sporadically since about 4.1.12 or so.

VMs will hang while doing a guest OS Shutdown, or while doing Close >
Save machine state.

Using TaskManager (Windows host) and selecting VBoxSVC and 'End
process tree' (which also kills off the child VirtualBox.exe) will
force the VM to exit.

The log file has this repeated at the end:

01:46:45.490 Changing the VM state from 'SUSPENDING' to 'SUSPENDED'.
01:46:47.958 Changing the VM state from 'SUSPENDED' to 'SAVING'.

... and then the aRC=E_ACCESSDENIED repeats once per second until I
end the task.

In cases where the VM does 'Save machine state' successfully, there
can still be between 1 and 20 instances of the aRC=E_ACCESSDENIED
message, interspersed among the other shutdown messages (counters and
stuff).

I added a full log file to this (hopefully related?) bug tracker issue here:
