  1. Windows 10 Default User logon


    We have a domain network with Windows 10 PC's and perform remote admin tasks either out of hours or when the user is not present.


    When I do this I sign in to the PC as a domain admin perform the work and power down. When the PC is then booted by the user the login promtp is still at the domain admin rather than the user account. This is often very confusing to the users!


    Is there any way to force Windows 10 to always return the logon screen to a default user after a reboot?


    Thanks in advance for any assistance you can provide.

    :)

    Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

    Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

    • Open a new Explorer window.
    • Click View in the ribbon.
    • Click Options.
    • Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
    • Click OK
