Three or four times recently, I've tried shutting down my Windows 10 PC, only for it (mysteriously) to instead go back to the normal Windows login screen. And when I then try to shut the PC down from there, it (again mysteriously) warns me that this will shut down any connected users' sessions (but without giving any useful details).
All of which makes suspect (in a slightly paranoid, but probably justified way) that someone else might possibly now be logging in to my PC from time to time.
So: is there anything (i.e. application / trick / hack / whatever) I can use to find out / track who (or what) is currently (remotely) logged in to my Windows 10 PC?
Because I work from home, I guess it's conceivable that a client company's firewall / antivirus bot is doing something nasty (but legit) that I'm unaware of. But... I'd just like to know. Thanks!

I am doing a production at my school tonight, and we have a massive issue. The laptop which controls the lighting system has an automatic shut down time at 9.00. The show runs until almost 10.00 and when the laptop shuts down, as you can imagine, so do the lights. This is something which happens to all the PC's in the school. I'm pretty sure we have admin rights on the laptop itself, I just don't know how to disable this. If anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated.
I don´t know how the auto shutdown is implemented and I guess it needs to be working again the next day.
So the easiest method i can think of would be to set the laptops time to like 8 in the morning when you start setting up your presentation. This gives you a 13 hour time window before the auto shutdown kicks in. After your presentation just reset the time to the correct time.
If the Laptop has an Internet connection during the presentation maybe also disable automatic time setting (NTP) or it might update itself during the presentation and shut down anywas.

I am trying to play some online games on the school computers.
Although everytime i try to run exes of setups such as Hearthstone-Setup-enUS.exe i get the User Account Control blocking me from installing applications.
I undersrand that installing pirated software on the school computers is ilegal but I just want to play free online games.
Is there a way to bypass the UAC?
School's Computer run Windows 7
In my experience, no. Whenever a UAC prompt is there you can't run it without administrator rights.
You can however try installing it into a flash drive (at home) and if you are lucky enough the game itself might run off of that. UAC blocks most installers, but it doesn't touch quite a lot of actual applications.
HOWEVER, schools tend to have common online game ports blocked, and there's a good chance that even if your game launches it wont connect.
Just install the game on any external storage such as USB and play from it .

My network user id keeps getting locked out, but I'm not doing it. I'm positive no one is using it besides me, but it is embedded in various places, for example I have a local IIS instance that is using it. However, my ID was locked over the weekend & I wasn't working. I'm assuming that my id is embedded somewhere else with an old password. How can I find out where?
Scour the Windows Security event logs on the machines where you may have set up scheduled tasks or services to run as you. Or if it's consistently happening, power down a machine and see if you still get locked out, if you do it's not that powered off machine, use the process of elimination that way (if possible).

I installed a Windows XP VM on my system with genuine Windows 7. But when I start my VM, the windows XP shows a popup with message :
"u may be a victim of software counterfeiting"
Is this a concern ? I mean, can it cause a legal problem for me ?
I am not asking about the hacks to remove this message but about if it may lead to some legal issue ?
I also know that one should only use a genuine Window provided by microsoft directly. What I am doing is for study purpose only.
Thanks in aadvance !!!
Sorry if asked at wrong place/forum (confused where to ask) !!!
That message will come if the xp version you are running is likely to be a cracked version. It is, of course not legal to use cracked software, and yes, it could cause a legal problem for you, as much as it could for anyone using a cracked version of windows.
Depending on what you are doing for 'study purpose', there might be other solutions. But else, if you don't want to use counterfeit software, go buy XP.

I want to use my Windows Desktop (XP, Windows7, , Win 10, Linux) as Thin Client Server.
It should be able to give a simultaneous log in session to 5-6 persons using thin client or Internet.
Basically, I want it to make a server, for a community group, which can use the same machine in a room for development. To give everyone more flexibility, I would like to give them another option, to use same machine to log in (With given username and password) and use it as virtual desktop (as in case of Citrix) in a simultaneous log in manner.
If I can Internet simultaneous log in Idea, It will be a big help.
Please leave your suggestions.
Thanks
I don't think I have got to the bottom of it,
but you sure can install windows7 or windows server 2008,
don't know about later versions.
And simultaneously keep few users connected with RemoteControl (msdtc) to the same machine.
