In organizations that utilize computers for purposes such as video surveillance, monitoring, or kiosks, having an automatic login system in place can be highly convenient. I've previously discussed how to enable automatic login on a home computer, but the process differs for domain-connected machines. However, it's important to note a security consideration: the user's password will be stored in plain text in the Windows registry.

If your computer or server on Windows OS has a high load because of some process, and you want to know what exactly that process is doing on your system. Or if you are just want to know what that or other programm is doing then Process Monitor utility may be very usefull for you.

If you often deploy virtual machines with Windows OS, then most likely it takes you a very long time to download, install updates, install a minimal set of software.

I have the keyboard - Logitech G510s. I've spent a lot of time to find out drivers for it for Ubuntu operating system. Actually it works well in Ubuntu, but it is unable to create macros, change LED colors and on LCD there is always G510s lit on the screen. At the same time media buttons works normaly out of the box.

Overall, during search for drivers, or how can it be called... The programm to controll display, colors and macros, I tried several different programms, and only one is working perfectly.

There are situations, when you need to view/end processes in command prompt. It may be needed if you control computer remotely via command prompt, or if computer is under high load, and it is almost impossible to start task manager. Also sometimes process does not stops if you try to end it from task manager. In those cases the way of controll processes though command prompt may be very usefull for you. Today I'll tell you about that way.

When you reinstall operating system, usually there is too much time needed to find, download and install drivers, and in some cases (for example if you reinstall windows on chineese tablet) search task of all needed drivers may become impossible. On Windows 8, 8.1 and 10 you can create a backup of all thirs party drivers with a single PowerShell command.

On Ubuntu, for example if was enabled autologin, may occure situation that annoyng window will appear - Enter password to unlock your login keyring. Usually it appears when you start Chrome browser, save network folder password and so on. In this article I'll show you how to get rid of that window.
