Windows 10: Logout warning "Someone else is still using this pc"

Windows 10 last user remains logged in after reboot - Windows 10 Forums

 

Bree, I noticed that as well but I have no idea if it means anything.
Zino, thanks for confirming I'm not the only one!
Ita1, thanks for the link. A post was just provided using the images. I didn't use the Switch Users icon to realize the account was simply logged out when searching for help.

This does appear to be a bug that doesn't effect all computers.

BTW, for all those who want auto-driving cars. I will ignore the thousands of people who have been killed due to commercial plane crashes, flying and on the runway, that have died. I simply want to be proven that computers and programs can be created that are not flawed. After all, from one computer to human, what can go wrong, go wrong, go w....

 

I am going to mark this solved. It appears to be either a bug in the latest release that does not impact everyone or it is a new feature of windows 10 that has not been implemented on all systems. I'm betting on a bug.

Regardless, the solution is simple, always log out of the account before shutting down or restarting or use Alt-F4 or one of the command prompt commands which can be setup as a shortcut.

 

I've not suffered this 'bug' and still can't reproduce it, but I have already set up shortcuts to workaround the other new 'feature' in 1709 that does affect all PCs, (apps that reopen after a restart). You may find it more convenient than Alt+F4.

Create a folder named Power, put the shortcuts in that folder, then you can add the folder as a toolbar on the taskbar for easy access.

 

@ExpertNovice, here's another one to add to the list of those affected (but still not me, however hard I try). For them, the solution was...

Fall Creators Update Doesn't Log Out

the 'Do this for EVERY account on your PC' bit may be something you haven't tried yet.

 

I see exactly the same thing as you.
When I restart from my limited user account, back to user - I see only me.
But when I restart admin account - I see both me and admin in the list.
It bothers me, because I dual boot with Windows7 and if it's anything like fast startup or hibernation, i.e. if windows 10 stores on disk what other users are doing, it'll corrupt things. But I don't know if they store what to restart or not or just flag some files.

 

Windows 10 Fall Creator Logs in user Automatically (in background)

 

Ita1,

In my case the user is not logged in automatically. Instead, it remains logged in unless Alt-F4 is used to logout or restart. To be clear, the other user is never logged in unless the computer was shutdown/restarted using the command from the start button. Of course the account can be logged out then shutdown/restart but Alt-F4 is simpler.

However, just to be sure I checked and the option it was/is disabled on all accounts.
