'Log Off' option missing from the power options

So I see 'Shutdown' and 'Restart' as well as 'Disconnect' (when logged in using RDP) but nowhere can I find 'Log Off' in the power options.   Right now I'm either using shutdown.exe with the 'l' option, or powershell, to log off.  Can't exactly ask the business end-users to do that though.

I have Build 9841.

Hello,

In RDP, I can right click on the start button and choose: Shutdown or sign out > Sign out

or press the Start Menu, then click on your profile image (at the top of the Start Menu), and choose Sign out.

or ALT + F4

No ?


Ciao !

Personal opinion ... should all be in one place in the final build.  End users can be easily confused.

Open Start menu/screen. Click on your account name -> voila!

It's not intuitive in Start menu but it has been that way in Windows 8. I hope MSFT fixes it.

It makes sense to have the profile option to logoff of a profile under your account, but Microsoft should have it shown in the OOBE so people can find it. Like when 10 is installing and its installing the apps, all that wasted time could be used to tell the user the things that have changed.

I work at a large, enterprise-grade operation.  When our users get their workstations, the OS is already installed, configured and locked-down.  Consistency is critical to us, and needless fluff, like live tiles, are just wasted space.  Our focus is to get the end-users as productive as possible in as short a time as possible, without the distractions of live tiles, entertainment centers, the cloud or having to search for and remember the location of additional power options, like logging off. Almost all large organizations decided to skip Win 8 due to the distractions built in ... Win 10 (so far) looks like just another service pack for Win 8. 

During the Win 10 announcement event, MS indicated that the new OS was designed with Enterprise in mind.  So far, I've seen virtually no evidence of that.  In fact, I'm seeing virtually no evidence of a new OS.  We are currently exploring our options.  Do we wait for another Win OS to be released? (2 more years) or start researching a migration to another OS, such as Linux, like the Bavarian State government has done?

Same in release 9860

Agree. Logoff should be added to power options

I get distracted having to remember things like R/Click to get option when it should be there from the start
