Description
I'm trying to get information about my guests without having to start them. Here's an example of my Debian 11 VM:
System is off

As soon as I shut the VM down, the data reverts to the first list (exactly, including timestamps). This is not consistent; some VMs retain their data, while others don't. All of my systems in question are using the ISO version of Guest Additions.
