    How to disable Win10 warning on shutdown if someone else is logged in?


    I have the habit of clicking Shut Down on my computer and walking away. Then 2 hours later or the next morning I come back to see the "Some else is still using this PC..." warning message. Or some program didn't shut down properly, and I see the "Force Shut Down" button. If I ht the power button on the computer it always shuts down regardless, so I'm trying to get into that habit. But is there any way to make the shut down button work the same way, to shut down when I say shut down regardless if someone else is logged in?

    Quick calculation.... if there are 300 million windows computers, and 10% of users have this occur 10 times a year for last 10 years, computer staying on an extra 16 hours, average computer uses 300W, and power costs $0.10/kWh...
    There is also the wear on the computer... if that time uses up 5% of the computer life, and the average computer costs $1000.... This is a 3 billion dollar problem! LOL.

    Anyways is there a registry setting or something to force it to always shut down when I click Shut Down??

    Meanwhile I will work on my bad habit... =)

    Thanks!!

    :)

    how to disable the "Add Someone else to this PC" in user account settings

    I want to prevent other people from creating another account which is not a family member. Could someone tell me if this is possible. Because I do not want other people who are not registered as a family member to access or create a user account with my
    computer.

    how to disable the "Add Someone else to this PC" in user account settings

    You can ensure no one is able to do that by making only your account be the Administrator only. Make sure other accounts are just users.

    Open Start > Settings > Accounts > Family & other people

    Select the other accounts

    Click Change account type

    Choose user then click OK

    How to disable Win10 warning on shutdown if someone else is logged in?

    Try this:
    Code: Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 ; Speed up shutdown [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop] "AutoEndTasks"="1" "HungAppTimeout"="1000" "MenuShowDelay"="1" "WaitToKillAppTimeout"="2000" "LowLevelHooksTimeout"="1000 ;Speed up right click context menu [HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-19\Control Panel\Desktop] "MenuShowDelay"="1" [HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-20\Control Panel\Desktop] "MenuShowDelay"="1" [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon] "AutoRestartShell"=dword:00000001[/quote]

    Thanks but this didn't remove the "other user still using"... warning.

    I put all that into a .reg file and merged it. Restarted. Then logged in with 2 users and tried shut-down, no luck. =/
