How to resolve black screen on Kali Linux on Windows 10 subsystem?
When I use Desktop Environments like GNOME or KDE or LXDE or XFCE in Kali Linux on Windows 10 subsystem, after a few minutes, I see black screen when I use xRDP and I use RDP ( Remote Desktop Protocol )
How can I resolve my problem?
Kali assumes that the user has a Masters degree ( or equivalent ) in computer sciences and is a very experienced linux and Networking user / Administrator
so do you have a 6 year degree from a Univ. in CS ?
This is not a Linux question, it is a Windows question.
Reported thread to request move to appropriate forum.

it's ok that windows offers a linux subsystem, but it's not ok that it generates even more stress on all the linux communities. Let MS deal with that.
i'm already sceptical about many virtualisation questions, but this Windows subsystem takes the cake.

It's easy. Kali is a tool for experienced professionals. It is not for you. Remove it.
But I think pro users can do that
By the way, you can drop your hand and be wait for the good answer
Because, must of people have degree like you and they need to learn more and more like you too.
I have 2 suggestion for you:
1. close this topic and be wait for the good answer
OR
2. close your mouth

user name and registration date is not a appropriate scale for measure
you don't know Who and Where is here and you don't know anything about my biography
so you can wait for answer if you can do it, without any marginal question

this also sounds like the MICROSOFT bug that was reported about that release for windows
yes, I am over there ( but as you know, over there we need to accept new subject when we send new subject and this issue take a time from us )
Microsoft have any new released update about this bug?
And are you sure about this problem? ( really, you think this is a bug )

Then if you're a pro user, you should be able to do it, right?

No idea what you're trying to say here

And here's a suggestion for you as well: coming here and insulting people will NOT get you 'the good answer', and it isn't likely to get people to even try to help you. Another suggestion is for you to read the "Question Guidelines" and the Kali sticky post. Kali is **NOT** for new users, and should only be used by networking/security professionals, and it even says so on Kali's website.

If you want news about a Microsoft bug, instead of 'dropping your hand and waiting for the good answer' you should go to Microsoft's website YOURSELF, and look it up. Because after insulting people on this forum, no one is going to be in a hurry to look it up for you.
You have posted in a Debian subforum. This subforum is for pure Debian, not the hundreds of distros based on it.
You are likely to get little sympathy from the members here, Kali Linux is an advanced distribution meant for penetration testing by professionals. The best advice I can give is to spend your time with another distro. Secondly, if you absolutely feel that you must use Kali [which you don't need to], go to the Kali forums/MS forums and ask there. You're just wasting your time here.

Kali Linux is specifically tailored to the needs of penetration testing professionals, and therefore all documentation on this site assumes prior knowledge of, and familiarity with, the Linux operating system in general. Please see Should I Use Kali Linux? for more details on what makes Kali unique.
Turn off the screen saver / power-saving features in both OSs and try again.
Asking, is not a fault Ask the question is not a reason for disability Meanwhile, I have no claim But I'm not ignorant like some of the people
Again, have zero idea what you're trying to say here.
You were told, very plainly, that you SHOULD NOT be using Kali. If you want to, then the makers of Kali assume you have the knowledge and skill to fix those errors on your own. You apparently do not. Kali, AGAIN, is not meant to be used as you're using it. And AGAIN...coming here and telling people to "close your mouth" will get you absolutely NOTHING. If you want to behave like that, then don't expect help.
Whether you are a seasoned veteran or a novice – our multi-language Kali Linux documentation site will have something you need to know about Kali Linux. Multiple scenarios and “recipes” are available, allowing you to easily create custom complex images with ease, such as the Kali Linux ISO of Doom.
Everyone here is right, if you cannot figure out something that simple you really should not be using Kali. What would be the reason for someone inexperienced to use Kali in the first place? It has no practical uses for the casual user.
With that being said, have you tried restarting. You are using it on the widows subsystem. Then try the following:
sudo /etc/init.d/xrdp restart
That should work. However my suggestion would be to get rid of Kali and try something a bit more fun (for the casual user) such as Ubuntu. Have a nice day.
