Hello Computer Brainiacs!!!!

Hey, any advice on how I can just sign-out to DU once instead of having to do it 2 times every time I exit? It's a tad bit pissing me off. I just got a new Windows 11 computer, and it does this every sign-out and did it on my old computer as well. Thanks

I don't think I've intentionally signed out of DU in 20 years except during updates or glitches.

Check this out, even if it's not 100% your case. Most of these problems involve saving cookies, or not.

I guess the big thing now is remembering to "check the box." I'll be cussing myself out for the next 6 months. I come to this site 7-8 times a day. Your advice is really what I was looking for! Kudos my friend!
