+If your fancy, shiny, new Linux install failed to recognize Windows and place a boot option for it in Grub... it's okay.
-see [[general_configs#os-prober | Kali::os-prober]].
+After grub v2.06 ''os-prober'' is disabled by default, therefore your fresh, shiny, new Kali install will not recognize other operating systems (like Windoze). If this happens, then add this to your ''/etc/default/grub'' file:
+<code>
+# file: /etc/default/grub
+GRUB_DISABLE_OS_PROBER=false
+</code>
+Then run: ''update-grub''. If that doesn't do the try, try: ''grub-mkconfig'' (or possibly ''grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg'')

+===== zsh auto-suggestion =====
+The default terminal in Kali is zsh and out of the box it has auto-suggestion turned on. That means you get pop-up suggestions every time you type in the term window. Annoying.
+**Here's how you turn that off:** Find the following lines in your ''~/.zshrc'' file (toward the bottom, around line 248: ''vim +248 .zshrc'') and comment them out.
+<code>
+# enable auto-suggestions based on the history
+if [ -f /usr/share/zsh-autosuggestions/zsh-autosuggestions.zsh ]; then
+    . /usr/share/zsh-autosuggestions/zsh-autosuggestions.zsh
+    # change suggestion color
+    ZSH_AUTOSUGGEST_HIGHLIGHT_STYLE='fg=#999'
+fi
+</code>
+Restart the terminal for changes to take effect.
