Windows 10: Log user out after exiting his custom shell

I have created a guest user account on my windows 10 laptop. I have also created a custom shell which is Age of Empires 3.exe. It works as intended, after he logs in, the custom shell the game itself is launched and he can play it. However after he quits the game, he gets back to this blank black screen without being able to log out.How do I make it so he is automatically logged out upon exiting the custom shell?

User accounts log off immediately

Hi Sam,

I found this solution that you may want to try. It's a registry edit so make sure you back up your registry files before preforming

I found the solution
here

You may not be able to log on to system using either Normal Mode or Safe Mode. This occur only when Winlogon service tries to load the Windows default shell (explorer.exe) and user shell (userinit.exe) from registry. This service searches for Explorer.exe and
Userinit.exe in the following path of registry:



HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon

Edit these values and type the correct path of shell :



Shell = explorer.exe

Userinit=X:\windows\system32\userinit.exe



NOTE: These files may also be deleted by spywares. You may need to extract them using Windows CD.



Steps for rectifying this problem:

• Log on to a networked computer.
• Run Regedit.exe
• Point your cursor to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
• Select File > Connect Remote Registry
• Type computer name (infected computer)
• Navigate to the following location in registry of destination or infected computer

HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon

• Edit these two values in right pane:

Shell

Userinit

• Change these two values to

Shell=explorer.exe

Userinit = x:\windows\system32\userinit.exe

• Exit from Registry
• Restart Infected computer.
• You should be able to log on to computer.
