    Windows 10 user automatic logout

    Hi,

    To address this concern, we suggest that you follow these steps on how to manage Screen timeout settings in Windows 10:

    • Go to Settings.
    • Select Personalization.
    • Select Lock screen.
    • Click Screen timeout settings.

    Let us know how it goes.

    Thank you.

    Windows 7 - automatic force logout the user after specific session time (even if user is active)

    Hi,

    I am looking for a way to force logout a user after 1 hour of computer usage. This will need to happen even if user is active.

    It will be good to have some kind of message pop up on screen 5 minutes before the logout to indicate the user to save the details.

    This is NOT

    • idle time log out
    • Auto screen saver after idle time.
    User should be able to login again after entering the password....... and the 1 hour session cycle repeats.

    logical steps may be as below.

    1. trigger = user login
    2. counter time - time "system time now + 60 minutes"
    3. trigger 1 = (system clock time = counter time - 5 min)
    4. Action - system message ="you have 5 minutes to save your work. Please save your work to avoid losing it"
    5. trigger 2 = (system clock time = counter time )
    6. Action - Execute logout.exe
    I am not programmer and hence the steps mentioned above may not be accurate.

    Please help either by guiding me to some of existing ready solutions available in market or a simple code (like time out counter).

    Thanks

    How to logout of user

    Current active users that are friends

    The other reason I suggested this is that users can add characters to their username that are not alphanumeric (e.g. user*). This confuses things somewhat when looking at the list.
