A few problems concerning CTRL+ALT+DEL & ALT+F4.

W10 Tweaker said:

I was thinking about adding one of the missing options to see if it became visible in the pull-down menu. In post #7, you indicated that both Sleep and Restart were available options already.

Yes, I have Sleep, Shut Down, and Restart!

The thing is, I do have ALL the options available in my Customised TooBar, via Shortcuts etc, but I really want to have them available from the ALF-F4 Menu. That is why I initially Disabled [but I have re-enabled them now] them. Ideally, I would like to Disable the CTRL+ALT+DEL Menu altogether as I only have Cancel on that screen anyway now, and Disable the Start Menu Power Options as I did before. Then the two options I have are the ALT+F4 Menu and my Customised ToolBar!

So if I understand correctly when the options were removed in the CTRL+ALT+DEL Menu, they also disappeared in the ALT+F4 Menu. Is that correct?

I will have to look at my notes tomorrow and get back to you on that!

Did you attempt to remove them and then change the default with Sergey's tweak to see if that added the missing menu item?[/B]

I have just loaded and gone through Winaero Tweaker and everything seems to be OK.

I am going to have to call it a night and resume again tomorrow!

I just had a thought, seeing this is a Customised ISO Installation, and I imaged the OS directly after Installation, and I am using this as a test OS until I get everything working the way I want it [ready to install properly and then customise and tweak it accordingly], I will re-image it tomorrow to see if ALL the Power Options are there and available. This way, I can see if it is something caused during the customisation, or if it is something caused by the REG tweaking or post customisation.
I will report back tomorrow.

Thanks everyone for your contributions and help, it is appreciated!

You're welcome, sir.

Well, here goes!

I re-imaged the OS back to the customised ISO installation.

[1] There were NO options available in the Start Menu Power Options.
[2] There were NO options in the CTRL+ALT+DEL Menu.
[2] The Power Button on the CTRL+ALT+DEL screen was NOT there.
[4] The ALT+F4 gave me the ERROR message I posted previously.

So knowing that it was a change I made during the customisation at least I knew where to start.

Now I wasn't going to accept the fact that although I created a customised ISO installation Win 10 could NOT re-establish this feature. I knew that it had to be something to do with the Power Configurations I made during customisation so I started there.

I first ran . . . powercfg -restoredefaultschemes and Rebooted.
I then ran . . . secedit /configure /cfg %windir%\inf\defltbase.inf /db defltbase.sdb /verbose and Rebooted.

Neither of these had any affect!

I then investigated the Local Group Policy and found the solution [yes, I did say I found the solution, WELL SORT OF!].

The answer is in the . . .

Local Computer Policy\Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\Start Menu and Taskbar\Remove and prevent access to the Shut Down, Restart, Sleep, and Hibernate commands\Enabled.

The affect this has is . . .

[1] The Start Menu Power Options show There are currently no power options available.
[2] The CTRL+ALT+DEL Menu does NOT show ANY of the Power Options.
[3] The CTRL+ALT+DEL Menu does NOT have the Power Button in the bottom right-hand corner.
[4] The ALT+F4 Menu has Sleep, Shut Down, and Restart.

Now I know that the ALT+F4 Menu is missing the Hibernate, but I have Hibernate set to Reduced anyway so Sleep surfices for this.

Now if you ALSO change . . .

Computer Policy\User Configuration\Administrative Templates\Start Menu and Taskbar\Remove and prevent access tothe Shut Down, Restart, Sleep, and Hibernate commands\Disabled

. . . it shows ALL the menus and the Sleep, Restart, and Shut Down.

So this part of it is RESOLVED!

QUESTION:

I also have the Administrator account enabled on my OS.

Now the way the above is setup has had an impact on the Start Menu User section. By this, I mean whereas before, I used to be able to click on my user icon and then click on Administrator, that option is NO longer available, NOT a problem in itself. In order to Login to the Administrator, I now have to Sign-Out and then Sign-In as Administrator, thereby losing all my open programs etc.

So my question is, how can I add Switch User to the ALT+F4 Menu ONLY without affecting or adding them to the other menus and therefore making them visible again please?

Once this is resolved my problem is solved.

Thanks in advance.

EDIT:

To help explain this a bit clearer, it is like this Tutorial . . .

Enable or Disable Fast User Switching in Windows 10

BUT, I ONLY want it added to . . .

. . . and NOT the other sections [via Local Group Policy I suspect!].

Here are two screenshots to show it worked . . .




I can't add the CTRL-ALT-DEL screenshot unfortunately, but there is ONLY the Cancel button and the Ease Of Access in the right-hand bottom of the screen!
