About this tag
The local logoff tag on WindowsForum.com covers discussions about scripts and group policies that run during a local logoff event. In one thread, a user describes using a batch file placed in the local logoff folder via Group Policy to perform backups before shutdown in Windows 10, but encountered intermittent execution and a delay message. The user eventually switched to a desktop shortcut that runs the backup and shutdown directly, bypassing the local logoff policy. This tag is relevant for Windows administrators and power users who want to automate tasks at logoff or troubleshoot shutdown behavior related to local logoff scripts.
