Guest VMs do not start at host boot

Hi, I discovered an odd problem with Cloudmin. After quite a long time I created a new VM a noted that this does not start when I reboot the host server. After some tests I realized that ALL NEW VMs do not automatically start, while old ones do. I suspect this happened after one of the several upgrades made. Unsetting and resetting "Start at host boot time" flag does not help. I run Cloudmin on Ubuntu 16.04 Any help will be appreciated. Thanks

The setting to enable newly created machines to boot up by default is under...

cloudmin configuration > virtual system settings > "Start new virtual systems at host boot time?"

The setting for existing VMs is under "edit system" for the VM > Top section, Near bottom, "start at host boot time"

Thank for responding, scotwnw, but I was not probably clear. The VM settings are correct, but VMs doesn't start when I reboot host. This happens to ALL newly created VMs, while older ones ore OK. I cannot figure out what's the cause. thanks
