Hello,

My pc is faulty, unable to load into Windows 10 Home, monitor is black screen.

When I was using the browser I login to gmail, facebook, youtube and other accounts I did not logout. Anyone that can access my pc can just open the browser and see these accounts logged in already and see any data inside these accounts. What can I do to logout the accounts before I send the pc to the repairman?

Thanks

In what way is the system not working?

If you can't log in to the OS, there is little you can do with the logged in credentials.

But if you don't trust the repair shop to not snoop, why are you using that repair shop?

I doubt anyone would open your browser and go digging just to see your stuff. If you had your bank stuff there, it would be reasonable.

What you could do,
  1. Login to your Google Account using another device such as a phone
  2. Go to https://myaccount.google.com/device-activity to see your current logged in devices.
  3. Now you can sign out of that individual device.

Your other stuff will remain the same but will only sign you out of Google and its related services (YT, Gmail etc.)

Same could be done with Facebook.
  1. Login to Facebook on another device
  2. Go to https://web.facebook.com/settings?tab=security
  3. Click 'where you're logged in'
  4. Click the three dots Infront of the device you wanna sign out
  5. Click logout.
Repeat the same for the other accounts you don't want your repairman to see :hap:
I think your browser history wont be affected, so if that's what you wanna hide, I'm sorry blud 🤣

P.S - Your passwords could also be saved in the browser, so, little you can do about that.
