Recently i encountered a very annoying problem. One of my Windows VM running on Virtualbox. This windows host keep shutting down on regular intervals. Initially i couldn't able to identify whether it is random or happening on fixed time intervals. I went through the settings, change active hours, change advanced startup options and went through the scheduled tasks suspecting something is triggering the reboot. Well, that didn't fix the issue. Then i went through the event viewer, and under Windows Application logs, i can see some informational events with event ID 100. It mentions that, the license period for this installation of Windows has expired. The Operating system will shutdown every-hour.
So that's it. My Windows trial period was over and without having a valid license, the OS disables many windows features, won't receive any updates, and this regular shutdown thing.
