Shutting down
Why is it when I shut down Windows 8, I click in the lower left corner, then
click on "Shut Down" and it seems to default to "Switch User". I never switch user since I'm the only user. Can I get it to default to Shut Down? Thanks. |

Can I get it to default to Shut Down? Thanks. I don't know if this will remove that action or not. Consider this a workaround if you cannot think of another solution. This disables fast user switching, or attempts to remove the interface elements. http://www.eightforums.com/tutorials...ndows-8-a.html It's more logical for switch user to be showing up, if there is another account actually logged in. And the "whoami" command likely only corresponds to your own account. I don't know if there is the equivalent of "who" to find out all logged in accounts or not. I didn't even know there was a "whoami", which is a new addition to the more modern Windows. Older Windows didn't have that. The idea of "who" and "whoami" are unix/linux things from long ago. whoami https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/.../cc771299.aspx There is a sysinternals to see who is logged in. https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/.../bb897545.aspx And a built-in called "qwinsta". Seems to give the same output, whether run from a plain or elevated command prompt window. http://superuser.com/questions/164/h...nto-windows-xp sessionname=services ID=0 state=disc sessionname=console username=myusername ID=1 state=active You could try that command, and see whether you have three lines of output, instead of two lines.
