This countdown timer serves no useful purpose for me, since I'm >> the only user of my machine. How can I turn it off so my logout completes more quickly?
I cannot remember/find anything with a timer. The attached image settings turns my PC off when I click Log Out. With Confirm Logout selected I also have to hit enter (or click an option), but no timer.
In your image you have selected turn off computer. Change it to end current session. Then with the already deselected confirm logout you'll have your session quickly ended without any substantial delay.
