Any way to delay the sign out screen if I have unsaved file?

When I have an application with unsaved content, for example notepad, and I log out. An almost blank screen with "Signing out" text shows up immediately (screenshot 1) but 5 seconds later it tells me that notepad is preventing signing out (of course it is) (screenshot 2).
The only way to confirm if that file is worth saving or not is to click "Cancel" and check again (screenshot 3). The whole process wastes 5+x seconds.

Windows 7 has it a much better way. It shows up screenshot 3 immediately instead. If you click Yes or No soon enough the signing out just continues. If you don't, another transparent screen shows up telling you that notepad is preventing signing out.

Can I get the same behavior on Windows 10? Delaying the "Signing out" or "preventing you from signing out" screen but simply show the "Do you want to save the changes" screen for a few seconds when I sign out?

screenshot 1


after 5 seconds, screenshot 2


after clicking "Cancel", screenshot 3

That's indeed better.
But is there any way to skip the screenshot 1 and 2 entirely and go straight to screenshot 3 in the first place?

rrygl: You're looking for Mac-like behavior. I agree that this should be the default. (Used a Mac for 30 years before switching to Windows; some of what M$ promotes as "normal" is just plain stupid. But Apple pisses me off too much to switch back. )

You could turn off AutoEndTasks below to have it automatically close the app instead to not see any of this, but it will not save before closing it.

That's even worse. No chance to save unsaved files.

Windows 7 does exactly what I described: Asking Yes/No to save file first, then continue the logging out. Normal behavior that normal people would expect. M$ just got worse and worse and worse on UX. All they care is making it "different" than last version as if it where their KPI is.

Hello, and welcome.

You can change the HungAppTimeout value below to the amount of seconds you want instead of the default 5 seconds.

Yes; better than nothing and I just changed the delay. Indeed, why M$ even had to provide this screen before the obvious check is face-palming.
