Способ 2: Сочетания клавиш

- Следующая комбинация – Alt+F4. Перейдите на «Рабочий стол», нажмите нужные клавиши, выберите во всплывающем окне опцию «Выход» и кликните «ОК».
- Выйти из профиля можно и с помощью меню, которое появляется по нажатию Win+X. Нужный нам пункт называется в нём «Завершение работы или выход из системы» – наведите на него мышку, после чего щёлкните «Выход».
Сочетания клавиш представляют собой самый быстрый метод решения поставленной сегодня задачи.

cmd, кликните по результату и выберите в правой части окна требуемую опцию. - Основной командой выхода из системы является
logoff: напишите её и нажмите Enter для применения. - Если эта последовательность по каким-то причинам не работает, можно задействовать другую,
shutdown /L.
Данный вариант подойдёт юзерам, которые активно пользуются «Командной строкой».
Способ 4: Windows PowerShell
Последний метод ориентирован скорее на продвинутых пользователей, и заключается в задействовании инструмента Windows PowerShell.

Windows 10 and other operating systems store all data on a PC based on the logged in user account. It is very common, in family and in public areas, for multiple users to use a single PC. Even one person can have multiple user accounts on a same PC for carrying out different tasks. Windows 10 will prompt you to enter username and password when you login to your computer for booting. After that instance, you can simply log out from one account and switch to another account without shutting down your computer.
Log Off / Sign Out and Switch Account
Before we explain further, there are few confusions when using the word “log off”.
- Microsoft uses this function as “log off” in earlier versions like Windows 7. In Windows 10, you can see Microsoft renamed the same feature as “Sign Out” instead of “Log Off”. So, do not get confused, sign out and log off are the same with different names.
- Windows 7 has logoff under power button. However, in Windows 10, the power button will have restart, shut down and sleep options. The sign out option is moved to different places in the menu items. Generally, this makes sense that the logging out is not an option connected at your computer level like shut down or restart. Since it applies at user level, it is supposed to be in the user account section. Moving the place of the frequently used menu item is the only confusion especially when you are habituated with Windows 7.
- Another confusion is with “switch account” option. Switch account is a super easy function that helps to switch between use accounts without terminating any of the logged in users.
When you log off or sign out, Windows will close all open applications and terminate your account from the connected network. You can switch to another user account or login to the same account again from the lock screen. When you login, you will see the desktop similar to normal startup without any open applications running. All programs need to initialize from the beginning like reconnecting to mapped network drives.
On other hand, switching account will retain all open applications of the previous user when switching to another account. This means you can simply toggle accounts at any point of time and continue where you left after login in both user accounts. All previously open applications will continue to run when switching the account though your network may disconnect and reconnect again.
Understanding this difference in mind, let us explain different ways to sign out of your Windows 10 computer. We use sing out in remaining part of this article with the similar meaning as log off as Windows 10 uses in the same manner. In addition, the possibilities of switching account is mentioned wherever it is applicable.

Logging off will close all files and applications you’re currently using, like the computer is preparing to shut down, so it’s important to make sure you have everything saved.
Another benefit to logging off is that it can be a more time efficient solution than restarting your computer completely when some applications are freezing or when you’re experiencing memory leak issues.
Here are four ways to do it.
Log off using “Ctrl” + “Alt” + “Delete”
