    New/existing user login and logout right away - can't log into user account


    Good time of the day dear community.I have an issue with Windows 10 Pro 2004 on laptop HP EliteBook 840 G6.I have a local adm account. I'm able to log into this adm account.Plus I have 2 MS accounts on this PC previously added and signed in both by myself.Some time ago a week or so I started having issues with log into both accounts - can not login.When I'm trying to login system shows "Hello" and after few seconds "logout".I'm able to log into both MS accounts through web so passwords are correct.I : * removed both accounts, * rebooted the PC, * added both accounts, * rebooted the PC

  2. Unable to logout and login on Windows 10 user accounts.

    The question and their answers are as follows:

    • many user accounts do you have on the computer?

      Two accounts: One main account and one guest account
    • Do you not find the options to login and logout of all the user accounts?

      No
    • Are you facing the above issue since upgrading to Windows 10?

      I bought a new laptop with Windows 10 preloaded
    • Which is the current build running on the computer?

      I do not know how to get this information. I am running Windows 10 Home edition and the latest version is installed, The last info I see for automatic update is:
      Cumulative Update for Windows 10 Version 1511 for x64-based Systems (KB3172985)

      I am a novice user!

      Thanks

    I understand your concern and will assist you to resolve this issue


    • What exactly happens when you try to login with new user account?

    I suggest you to refer the steps below and check if it helps


    • Press Windows+ X, select
      Command Prompt
      , and then click Run as Administrator.

    • When you are prompted by User Account Control, click Continue.

    • At the command prompt, type net user administrator /active: yes, and then press Enter.

    • Type net user administrator
      <Password>
      , and then press Enter.

      Note In this command, <Password> represents the actual password that you want to set for the administrator account.

    • Type exit, and then press Enter.

    • Log off the current user account. And login and check whether your able to login to windows or not.

    New/existing user login and logout right away - can't log into user account

    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
