GUI/DefaultCloseAction - PowerOffRestoringSnapshot no longer working?

Post by algee »

I updated from Version 6.1.32 to 7.0.6 and now, when i close a VM,
it doesn't automagically restore the last snapshot but prompt me what to do.
Still without an option to restore the last snapshot.

Both, Host and Guest are Windows 10 Enterprise 21H2 (10.0.19044) x64.
Host has 32GB RAM, Guest has 4GB RAM.
The Guest has Guest Additions 7.0.6 installed.

Output from getextradata for affected VM:

Code: Select all

"C:\Program Files\Oracle\VirtualBox\VBoxManage.exe" getextradata test1
Key: GUI/DefaultCloseAction, Value: PowerOffRestoringSnapshot
Key: GUI/LastCloseAction, Value: PowerOff

Key: VBoxInternal2/SharedFoldersEnableSymlinksCreate/Scripts, Value: 1
Key: VBoxInternal2/SharedFoldersEnableSymlinksCreate/Tools, Value: 1
Is there any reference to valid extradata settings? The manual doesn't provide much help here.

You can power off the VM, then right-click the snapshot & select 'restore'. The VM will power up to that snapshot.

I haven't yet found a way to get it to do this automatically like V6, though.
