All installed files being deleted after reseting VM

[squeakyy]

Every time I reboot the VM all my setting and files I had installed revert back to how it was back in the beginning.

Welcome to the Community,

does this happen on VM reboots, or on power-cycles, i.e. after power-off - power-on?

Please check whether the VM's virtual disk has been configured as "independent nonpersitent", which will discard all changes after power off.

This happens on both VM reboots and power-cycles. How do I check the configuration of the virtual disk?

[a_p_]

If it happens on reboots as well, then it's most likely not a VM setting.

Anyway, you may want to check the VM's virtual disk's configuration in the VM's settings.

If you are unsure, please attach the VM's configuration (.vmx) file to your next reply.
