I installed VirtualBox again and I want to restart the Guest OS Windows 10. But as I recall, when I reboot the Guest OS, it starts again from the beginning, like I have do do the installation again from the top.

Do I have to use Devices>Optical Drives>Remove Disk From Virtual Drive before rebooting the Guest OS? I am using the lastest version of VirtualBox.

This will only happen if you have the option enabled to discard changes. When you make a snapshot, you can then set the Virtual Machine to always discard changes made after the snapshot when the VM is shutdown.

Simply disable that option, and you can reboot/power off normally and keep all changes.

Also, make sure there isn't an ISO or CD mounted that does an OS installation. Normally this should be bypassed, but it could happen.
