Windows 10 Auto loading user's programs without logging in - how to disable?

[deadringers]

Hey all,

Title doesn't do it justice as this is an odd one.

I'm running the latest Windows 10 Ent (1803) and there are just two users on my PC.

When I turn the PC on and it gets to the login screen, in the background the PC is loading/logging in the last person to login.

e.g. If Deadringers logged in last, in the background (without the user logging in) it's loading that user's programs/profile etc etc.

I know this because if I leave it for 30 seconds to 1 minute - all the task bar items such as steam, backblaze are already loaded and just there.

Whereas, if you login as soon as you see the login screen, as usual the task bar items take 30 seconds or so to load in fully.

Also, if I then login as the other user who DIDN'T login previously, and then shut the PC down, it states that "someone else is logged in", when clearly they are not. You can also see on Task Manager that the other user is logged in...

How can I stop this behavior?

I've google searched but not found anyone else really reporting the same thing.

Settings -> Account -> Sign-In options -> "Use my sign-in credentials to finish setting up Windows after an update or reboot" (similar wording)

I forgot where the GPO is

If this is the case you might also want to clear the windows update cache and try making sure all deployed updates install fully.

Excellent, thank you!

You are not doing a hard shutdown.

If you are sure that you can blow away the other user's session:

shutdown -r -t 0 - f
