Windows 8.1 Security Risk / Not able to log off a user

Hello Community,
First and foremost good morning, I hope everyone is having a good morning.  I'm in dire need of a solution.  The company I work for has four (4) standalone computers with Windows 8.1
which are located in a break room for, you guessed it, breaks!  They are not on the domain but are on a workgroup.  A former user from the company has one of these machines completely locked up.  Here's what I mean:
When a user sits down at one of these computers they click on the account Breakroom1, Breakroom2, etc....up to 4 which lets them login.  However, somehow a user has logged in with
an outlook account and there is absolutely no way for me to log this person out.  I can't right click anywhere and get a logoff button.  I can't right click on the red circle and get an option to log this person out.  The only options I get
are restart, sleep, and shutdown.  I've browsed through setup to see if there were any options to kick this person off.  I'm completely stumped.  I believe this to be a security risk because no one has been able to do anything about this. 
I'm trying veryhard not to reimage this machine.
If anyone has any ideas I will gladly try them out and I thank everyone in advance for their time.
Respectfully,

Hi Ricky ,
“somehow a user has logged in with an outlook account and there is absolutely no way for me to log this person out.”
Do you mean someone connect the Microsoft account with the local account and then the machine is  locked now. You can`t get into the machine unless you know the Microsoft account`s password, right?
To solve this problem ,I am afraid you have to contact the Microsoft account`s owner firstly to unlock the account. To avoid this tiresome issue in the future, I recommend you take the following steps:
1.Log on the computer as an administrator
2.Run the gpedit.msc and look for the following group policy and set “Users can`t add or log on with Microsoft accounts”,
Computer Configuration\Windows Settings\Security Settings\Local Policies\Security Options\Accounts: Block Microsoft accounts
3.Run gpupdate /force
4.I recommend you take this solution to the others` pcs in the Breakrooms .
Best regards

  • I am facing issues with my music on my iOS device. I have five devices connected to my apple id. And out of which a Windows Machine and iPhone is not able to sync the purchased songs on the the Windows machine and the iPhone.

    I am facing issues with my music on my iOS device. I have five devices connected to my apple id. And out of which a Windows Machine and iPhone is not able to sync the purchased songs on the the Windows machine and the iPhone. The iPhone4 shows the songs are not supported and on the Windows Machine the songs do not play completely. Can anyone advice what could have gone wrong ? Because rest of the devices are synced to MacBook and they are able to sync the content normally.  I have even subscribed to iTunes Match but the problem is still not fixed.

    Firstly...  a little Clarity...
    Devices refer to iDevices... iPod... iPhone... iPad. ..   Not Computers.
    Authoriation applies ONLY to Computers... of which there is a Limit of 5 per Apple ID.
    If the issue is with iTunes on your Windows Computer... Perhaps you need to Re-install iTunes...

  • Windows 7 internet security will not allow the installation of Flash Player 17 Update

    Windows 7 internet security will not allow the installation of the Flash Player 17 update.  I have tried the direct install using the IE_AX update without success.

    Hi,
    Thanks for the screenshot.  It's very helpful. Essentially, this is an issue with the internet security settings on your machine (Internet Explorer > Internet Options > Security), and not a Flash Player issue.  I Googled "internet security settings prevented one or more files from opening' and it returned numerous hits.  I'm posting a few for you, however, I'm not endorsing any of them.  I recommend you search your self and select one you feel comfortable with.

  • Not able to log-on workspace/shared services after new inst thru index.jsp

    Dear Specialist Team,
    I m Kalyan, new to HFM product installation. I have completed successful EPM installation with the help of user guides from Oracle.
    Installed on my local machine, able to work on Planning / Essbase Admin server, but not able to log-on to workspace and shared services on the local host link.
    Checked many things like Services running properly, Diagnostics report. All are positive. Using IIS 7.
    I m able to see this link "*http://localhost:9000/workspace*/", when I click on the Launch Application a blank window gets opened on Popup and nothing is visible it says loading for long time on this link "*localhost:9000/workspace/index.jsp*".
    Tried using different browsers, but unlucky. Is there anything I m missing with java or browser or something else?
    Please help me to sort this, so that I can log-on and proceed with application usage.
    Regards,
    Kalyan

    John's support document related to the browser settings is the best, however if you do not have access to support document or are using Firefox you can try installing an add on found at -->
    https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/remote-xul-manager/
    and restart Firefox...
    Once the browser is restarted..you can find the add on at Firefox --> Web Developer --> Remote XUL Manager
    Add the URL, that you are using to access workspace and try to load it. If everything is good, you should be able to see workspace/shared service page.
    Thanks.

  • I am not able to log in to ePrint

    I am not able to log in to ePrint, after entering the username and password a new window pops out, advising to click on HP Connected. After clicking on the button I get error 404, web page not found.
    Also not of the 5 apps that are installed on the printer not working, selecting them I see apps updating .... please wait and then cancelling.

    Hi hp323,
    Welcome to the HP Support forums.  I understand that you are unable to get the apps to work on your Photosmart 7520 series printer and that you are unable to log into HP Connected.
    HP Connected has only been rolled out to the USA and the UK.  Please try logging into HP's ePrintCenter with a country other than the USA or UK as the your country choice (this can be chosen in the lower left hand corner of the screen, please see the screen shot below).  That will stop the redirection to HP Connected.  What is occurring is you are trying to log into the USA/UK ePrintCenter which automatically redirects.  The redirect is using the country from the computer and is trying to redirect to the HP Connected for your country and it fails as there is not an HP Connected for your country.
    As for the apps,  HP is aware of the issue and is working on a solution. It is recommended that you have your product updates set to automatic on the front panel of the printer in order to be able to receive the update when it becomes available. If you wish to discuss this with a phone support agent, please call HP's Cloud Services at 1-855-785-2777 if you live in the USA/Canada region. If you live outside of the USA/Canada region please click the link below to find the Technical Support number for your country/region.

  • I'm not able to log in as J2EE_ADMIN through the Web Browser.

    If I try to log into the server using http://<server>:50000/ I get the SAP Nteweaver SAP Web Application screen. I click on System Information, I get prompted for the username and password. I enter the username J2EE_ADMIN and then the password, but it keep asking for the username and password until I get the 401 unauthorized screen.

  • Not able to log in Portal(irj or nwa). MYSAPSSO2???

    Hello,
    When i try to log in portal(irj or nwa), the application always redirect-me to log in screen again. So, i try to log in with another user, the message "The user was has authenticated with another user.".
    I verified and the MYSAPSSO2 cookie was not created. I think because of this i not able to login in Portal.
    When i run a service through SICF, it open correctly in Internet Explorer and the MYSAPSSO2 cookie is created. If i try to open the Portal in another TAB, it open correctly.
    Why the MYSAPSSO2 cookie is not created when i log in from portal.
    Recently we changed the SSO Ticket Log in configuration. But we returned to default configuration and we are not able to log in Portal.
    How to fix it?
    Thanks.

    The problem was in the Template security.

  • I have a 100 credit in my iTunes account and I am not able to log in to my account because my email is no longer active can a get a credit for amount i have in my account?

    I have a 100 credit in my iTunes account and I am not able to log in to my account because my email is no longer active, can a get a credit for amount i have in my account?

    Why can you not login into the account ? You should be able to if you remember the account's password, if you can't then you can get it reset e.g. by answering your account's security questions : http://iforgot.apple.com
    If you can't reset it via your security questions then contact Support in your country, they should be able to reset your password (and security questions) for you (after they've verified your id and that it's your account).
    Contacting Apple about account security : http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT5699
    If your country isn't on that page then try this form and explain and see what they reply with : https://ssl.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html
    You can then change the primary email address on your account e.g. by logging into it via the Store > View Account menu option on your computer's iTunes, or via the 'manage your apple id' button on http://appleid.apple.com

  • Please can anyone help me to download some apps for my iphone .. i am simply not able to log in to the itunes store , when i enter my apple id it says that it has not yet been used with the itunes store

    please can anyone help me to download some apps for my iphone .. i am simply not able to log in to the itunes store , when i enter my apple id it says that it has not yet been used with the itunes store

    Ok, you should generally only get this when you are converting your ID to an iTS account for the first time.
    Sign into iTunes with your Apple ID and you should get this.... IRC once you agree or accept it's now an iTS account and you wont get that again.

  • Not able to log into Verizon Cloud on Galaxy Note Pro 12.2

    Not able to log into Verizon Cloud getting a message that my phone number has changed and that I should factory data reset the device and then restart to setup my cloud account. I have not changed numbers and don't want to factory data reset.
    Any Ideas?
    Thanks

        That is really odd, ThePathfinder. I too would be a bit weary of doing that, but the factory reset isn't as bad as it used to be. Let's try this step first before even considering that route. If you go to Settings > App Manager > All Verizon Cloud > Can you clear the apps cache and data, and possibly uninstall any updates for it? This may be enough to clear past info stored for the app, and may allow you to sign in with no issues.

    This is entirely a carrier issue.  If your carrier (airtel) doesn't provide service outside of Mumbia, this has nothing to do with your iPhone.
