  1. Help with setting up Auto-Log off for Guest User after a specific time


    Hello all, I am trying to set up Windows 10 to auto-log off a user after a specific time. The account is a guest account and I have already limited the account to only log in from 12pm-12am using the command prompt.

    I was wondering if there was a way to also set it to auto-log off this user after 12am? I was wondering if using task scheduler would work or would the guest account be able to access task scheduler to delete the auto-log off task?

    Thanks for the help!
