Cum să deconectați alți utilizatori din Windows 10

Desktop operating systems aren’t built for single users. We may have laptops that are exclusively used by one person but the operating system they run can support multiple users. For each user that you add, a separate user folder is created and the user gets their own libraries and their own system settings including a wallpaper, default apps, and their own Start menu layout. Multiple users can be signed into a Windows machine but you can sign out other users without having to switch over to them. Here’s how.

Sign Out Other Users

Open the Task Manager with administrative rights and go to the Users tab. The Users tab will show you all users that are currently signed in to the system, and how much CPU and RAM each user is using. Your user, the one you’re signed into, will also be listed.

Right-click the user you want to sign out and select the ‘Sign off’ option. It goes without saying that when you sign out other users on Windows 10, all apps, files, and folders that are open will be closed. Nothing that isn’t automatically saved will be lost e.g., if the user has a Microsoft Word document open, the auto-save feature is the only thing that will save their work.

If you don’t want to go through the Task Manager, you can also use the Command Prompt to sign out other users.

Open the Command Prompt with administrative rights, or if you’re the administrator, open a simple Command Prompt window and run the following command in it;

query session

This will list all the users that are currently signed in on the system. Take note of the ID assigned to each user. You will need the user ID for the command to sign out the user.

To sign out the user, run the following command.

logoff ID No.

Example

logoff 1

With Command Prompt, you won’t get an alert telling you that the user you’re signing out will lose work if it isn’t saved first and that all the apps and folders will be closed.

Rețineți că atunci când vă deconectați de la alți utilizatori, aceștia pot pierde munca. Oricât de rău este, nu există pierderi de date sensibile, dar asta nu înseamnă că ar trebui să deconectați alți utilizatori doar pentru că puteți. Dacă suntem perfect sinceri, un utilizator poate să țină apăsat butonul de pornire și să închidă sistemul, deconectându-i pe toți, astfel încât munca ta să dispară oricum, așa că deconectarea altor utilizatori atunci când nu ai niciun motiv întemeiat nu este cel mai frumos lucru face pe un sistem partajat.
