    Somebody else is logged in at shutdown


    Since a week or two back I have started to get a popup that someone else is logged on when I am about to shut down the computer. This is a bit scary. Has anyone else also got this experience?

    PC Suite Privacy

    Hi, if there's multiple users using same PC, it's recommended to use use Windows user accounts to protect privacy. Log in with own user name into Windows and then we somebody else is going to use Nokia Ovi Suite, log out with your Windows user name let
    somebody else use his own Windows user name to log in.

  3. Cortana thinks my wife is somebody else!

    Please help! Cortana has somehow decided my wife is a somewhat grumpy ex-colleague of mine. Cortana refuses to recognise my real wife, simply offering to contact the "other woman". My wife (jokingly, I hope) has suggested that maybe cortana has predicted I
    should be having an affair...

    Please advise me of a way to update who Cortana considers to be my wife.

    Hello jockep, and welcome to Ten Forums. *Smile

    When this happens, you can cancel shutdown, and use Option 5 in the tutorial below to see what accounts are showing as currently still signed in.
