  1. Signed in automatically after signing out (without shutting down)


    I have a number of standard window users without passwords. Sometimes when I use the sign-out option, the account is signed out but then automatically signs in again. Usually this only happens once but sometimes it repeats a second time.
    The accounts are local accounts. Any ideas what might be causing this and how I can prevent it from happening (apart from having passwords on the accounts)

    TIA

    :)

    Windows 10 - Shutdown, but user stays logged in

    The problem is that even when someone signs out, on boot it automatically goes to their desktop. However it does the hard shutdown doesn't change that. My wife will use her account. She will sign out and after signing out shut down. I have reset for
    a hard shut down rather than the default pretend shut down. Push the power button and when it boots up it automatically reloads her desktop.

    The method of shutting down doesn't change anything as the problem is that it does not completely log off. When I want to go to my desktop after she uses it, I have to wait for hers to load up, then sign out and log in. It's pretty stupid. 7 had a straightforward
    system - a hard shutdown automatically logs you out for real.

    Again, even if you click on the user icon and sign out, it doesn't really sign you out. That is the problem. With Office 2016 Outlook, it's the opposite. When you log in to your email, it makes you log in over and over again, and there isn't a fix there
    yet either, though they claim there will be one by next year. Not only do they keep adding mroe steps, but they don't always work.

  3. How do I choose which user account will be selected automatically on the sign-in screen?

    Default behavior

    On a PC with Windows 10, there are 3 user accounts: Username1, Username2, and Username3. If Username2 is the last one that signed in, then the next time the PC is turned on, Username2 is selected automatically on the sign-in screen.

    Problem description

    Username2 is the owner of the PC. Username2 signs in very frequently. Username1 and Username3 sign in very rarely.

    After Username1 signs in, and then signs out or shuts down, Username2 has to click on the account Username2 to manually switch from Username1 to Username2 on the sign-in screen.

    After Username3 signs in, and then signs out or shuts down, Username2 has to click on the account Username2 to manually switch from Username3 to Username2 on the sign-in screen.

    Username2 would prefer that each time he turns on his PC, the account Username2 will be selected automatically on the sign-in screen.

    Questions

    Are there any settings that allow Username2 to choose that his user account will be selected on the sign-in screen each time he turns on the PC, even if Username1 or Username3 was the last user that signed in?

    If yes, then where are these settings located?

    Signed in automatically after signing out (without shutting down)

    Hello CaptainFlint, *Smile

    I'm afraid that the only way to stop this is to add a password to each account.
