How to bypass "Other users logged in may lose their work" when shuttin

ancient · 20 Apr 2019

Hey Guys

Anyone know how to get rid of the above message when shutting down?
On the users tab of task manager it only shows my user account.

It may be a Sophos account?
Alternatively, how do you force log off all users without the prompt?

Cheers.

I have an icon on my Desktop that runs a batch file that has this in it:

shutdown /s /t 15 /c "Shutdown in 15 seconds. Enter shutdown /a from the Run box to cancel."

The /t implies /f.

Code:

  /f           Force running applications to close without forewarning users.
               The /f parameter is implied when a value greater than 0 is
               specified for the /t parameter.

I double click on the Desktop icon to shutdown. Gives me 15 seconds to open a Run box and enter shutdown /a if I decide I really don't want to shutdown.

This is the default message when shutting down from the Lock screen, if you logged into Windows and press the shut down button from the Start button, it will not give you this message.

I get the prompt when I'm logged into windows...I don't shut down from the lock screen.
