For the past few weeks, my users are still logged in every time I shut down the computer. I tried to disable 'Use my sign-in info to automatically finish setting up my device after an update or restart'. But that was not convenient to turn off. Here below is the link to the page where I asked the question. He said that it was not convenient to turn it off. So now I don't really know which solution there is to be able to fix this. Can anyone help?

Link: What is 'Automatically complete the configuration of a PC after an update or restart' in Windows 10

I will explain step by step what my problem is.

We have two users. Let's say we have User A and User B

Step 1: I sign in to User A

Step 2: I shut down my computer

Step 3: Then I startup my computer

Step 4: I sign in to User B

Step 5: I shut down my computer

Step 6: Then a message will popup: "There is a user who is logged in to this device. Are you sure you want to shut down your computer? Any unsaved work will be lost."

I tried to disable 'Use my sign-in info to automatically finish setting up my device after an update or restart'. But that was not convenient to turn off.

This setting is precisely the reason of this behavior. It lets Windows silently log in the most recently used user account on boot. If you choose to log into another account, you now have two accounts logged in and you're seeing the message you've described.

Disable Use my sign-in info to automatically finish setting up my device after an update or restart as described in this question to get rid of the prompt. If you'd like to keep it enabled, you have to deal with its direct consequences.
