Windows 10: Shortcut to combine logoff and shutdown?

Windows 10 Home 64 bit running 20xx build. 2 users in the same laptop.

If one user shutsdown the laptop without logging off, the next time another users goes to shutdown, it says that the other user is still logged in.

So I am looking for a solution that gracefully logs out both users and then shuts down directly from desktop rather than going through the 2-step process of logging out first, waiting for the lockscreen to appear and then shutdown from there.

regedit inserted logon, logoff, and shutdown sounds not playing.

Hi, the shutdown sound simply doesn't have time to play in most cases. That's been discussed previously on tenforums.

I don't see log on/off sounds listed- did you add those options? e.g.

How to create a shortcut to logoff AND login another user?

To conveniently allow another user on Windows 10 to logoff the existing user and then login to the computer, is it possible to create a single shortcut that would do both?

I know how to create a shortcut that would use shutdown.exe -L that would logoff the existing user, but it would be great if this shortcut could be extended to also login a specified user.

This is needed because Windows 10 automatically at boot-up logins the last user to shutdown the computer. Even if the last user has a password for login, and a different user is selected to login, the last user is still automatically signed in, which results
in a warning message about another user being signed in when the second user goes to shutdown the computer. The only known way to avoid this is by every user having a password, plus logging off first before shutting down the computer.

So, a simpler workaround would be for users (only two are required for my computer) to have shortcuts on the desktops which would enable another user to double-click their specific shortcut icon to both logoff the existing user and log themselves on.

I knew about that.

I set them as something else, so it sounds like XP, if that's what you're asking.
