Windows 10: Second user some times gets logged in without any action on my part. How can I stop this?

I sometimes have a drop in performance and check to see why in task manager and i see the second user logged in. I don't log this user in, he just appears there for some reason and drains ressources. That profile is password protected and not set to auto login, i have no idea why it just suddenly logs in.

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
