Windows 10 guest, preferences not saved

[Ojaru]

Hello!

I'm using virtual box on Linux with several guests. I have an issue on Windows 10.
I'm using a development environment for ARM, and everytime I stop Windows 10, all my preferences
are lost. For instance, the IDE editor settings (tab size, indent, style, etc...), shortcuts, everything
disappears. At first, I thought it might be because I'm closing the guest too brutally by closing its
window, but I also try to close windows with start -> shutdown and it doesn't change anything.

Does anybody know how to fix this issue?

Thanks for any hint.

This will do it for sure.

Are you using snapshots? Did you do anything unusual with your VM's disks, like set up a differencing disk?

Right-click the VM in the main Virtualbox window's VM list, choose Show in Explorer/Finder/File Manager. Zip the VM's .vbox file (not the .vbox-prev file), and post the zip file, using the forum's Upload Attachment tab.
