can windows notify users to close files, folders or browser before logoff from the computer

Question

Dear Team,

I need to set a notification to users when they logging off from the computer, Example: user is working on a computer and opened some folders and browser in the desktop and it is in minimize mode, user trying to sign-out from the computer without closing those folders and browser, Now system should notify to user that the folders and browser is not yet closed, please close all those folders and browsers before logoff from the computer.

Is there any group policy or registry can be configured for this?

Regards,

Mowlee

Hello,

Thank you for posting in Q&A forum.

Unfortunately, there is no built-in Group Policy or registry setting that will directly trigger a notification to the user about minimized applications before logoff. However, you can create a custom solution using a logoff script. The logoff script can be set via Group Policy, and you can write a script (usually in PowerShell) to check for open applications and display a notification.

You can create a custom notification that reminds users to close certain applications before logoff. Be sure to test the script on a single machine or with a test user account before deploying it broadly.

If you need help with this, I recommend posting a new question in the forum specifically about creating a script that checks for running applications.

I hope the information above is helpful.

Best Regards,
