SharedPC Mode - how to disable

Hi,

I have 7 machines in my clinic all running Windows 10 & connected to Azure. One machine has the SharedPC mode enabled on the reception which was from a previous provisioning package.

However, I would like this removed for data protection reasons, it doesn't show any other azure connected machine, but I cannot seem to get rid of it and lots of google articles that I have found don't seem to work.

I have reset the PC through Azure as a 'fresh start' and it keeps reappearing - but only on this machine - despite using 'fresh start' on other machines in the past.
Is there something I am missing or a registry key or config profile in endpoint I can put on, endpoint only seems to show the enabling of 'SharedPC' not disabling of.
Thanks,
David

    Hi @David Taylor

    I would suggest you to Disconnect this Shared PC from Network and Install Windows 10 using .iso and give different computer name or Host Name .

    Then connect network and Join to Azure AD with different computer Name .

    By this way it should not use SharedPC Mode and will connect as a Fresh new Device.

    Hope this answers your question :)
    Thank you.
