Windows 10: Someone else is still using this PC - Warning Message at reboot

Hi,
it is a few time (probably since the update to Windows 1903, the actual version that I'm using) that when trying to restart Windows, I receive the warning message "Someone else is still using this PC".
I noticed a strange thing along this: the "Processes" and "Users" tabs in the Task Manager are completely empty (sorry for the italian language, "Processi" means "Processes" and "Utenti" is "Users"):







I also noticed another strange thing: this is not happening anytime. For some time after Windows has started, the two tabs in task manager are fully populated and I don't receive any warning message if trying to reboot. I don't know for what reason this changes after some time.
I already tried everything suggested here:
Logout warning "Someone else is still using this pc"
From disabling the flag in the accounts settings (I've only one account) to creating the registry key.

Any ideas about this? *Smile

Thanks

:)

PC reboots (no BSOD) on CPU stress

Hi fellow TPU members,

not too long ago, the box my gf's PC was transported in gave way on the stairs. Yes, you got it right, that sent a PC tumbling down a flight of steps alright.

Stuff broke. Also, stuff remained intact somehow.

I bought her a new case, new CPU cooler and we removed the floppy drive, so far so good. But the PC started crashing for no apparent reason, without a BSOD.

I tested:

• Memtest86+, left overnight, 0 errors
• Scanned the HDD for errors, nothing there
• Left FurMark burning up the GFX card and drawing some power, no problems there
• Ran Ubuntu from a Live CD doing nothing special, didn't crash
• Ran OCCT, Linpack, Prime95, all 3 caused reboots within minutes
• Oh, and I disabled "Restart on error" so I'm sure it's not a BSOD.

Now, I can still try and test something CPU intensive on Ubuntu, but my guess is the CPU didn't survive.
Before I do anything drastic like whippin' out the magic wallet and get her a new AMD quad, is there anything I didn't see?
I'm guessing the motherboard could be borkered as well, but can I check that other than replacing the CPU with a working one?
Any suggestions on which proggies I can use from an Ubuntu Live CD to stress the CPU?
