Hello Milton,
that as very odd problem and I never heard of something similar.
Can you please provide more information like on what OS you are, on which drive you installed the Authoring Tool, ...
I tested with the current version on Windows.
When I create a course, execute vagrant halt before rebooting my machine, everything is fine. No re installation all the data stored.
When I do a reboot without vagrant halt (VM still running) a newly added image got lost / got broken.
Can you please try vagrant up. When setup up correctly add some test content. Logout and execute vagrant halt in the correct directory. Make sure you wait until the command finished. Then do a reboot and try a vagrant up again. Do you still have the issue?
Thanks
Thomas
