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.

The fingerprint reader on my laptop was not working properly since last couple of month. Suspecting after some update from Microsoft. It was not completely working, sometimes it work perfectly and often sometimes not. Especially after my laptop goes sleep. So i uninstalled and reinstalled the driver with the latest update, did some googling and couldn't get a solution. However, i though of checking the power management settings. And unchecked the "Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power" under the device's power management (From Device Manager). The issue is fixed and the fingerprint reader is working fine. Thought of sharing this as some of my friends had the same issue. Also i can see a lot of queries in the internet regarding this fingerprint reader malfunction. Always keep your OS and the drivers up to date and don't download any third party tools to fix issues with your machine.

When some one login to the Kali linux using the new default credentials kali/kali , they wont be having the root privileges. Even unable to view the IP Address using the ifconfig command.

But executing all commands with sudo is bit inconvenience. So let''s activate the root user. #sudo su and then reset the password using # passwd root Enter your new password for the root user. Restart Kali or switch user, and then login with root and the new password that you've set.
