    Hi Santiyesss, right click the desktop and select New > Shortcut

    For the location just copy/paste in C:\Windows\System32\shutdown.exe -l

    Give it a name > Finish

    Both will work.

    Shutdown.exe -l or logoff.exe

    It signs the current user out, just the same as right clicking the start button > Shut down or sign out > Sign out
