How to create shortcut to log out of Windows 10

Thanks to computers, we have the ability to centralize all this data, with easy access and the ability to share all of them whenever necessary..

 

 

For security, when we move away from the PC it is normal for us to block the system or to close the session to prevent other people from accessing the content and our files , to close the session (which requires entering the password again), generally We go to the start menu and there we close the session from the shutdown options.
