WDAG Utillity Account

[shahryar.abbaspoor]

Hi, i just want to know if there is a way to get rid of this builtin account "WDAGutillityAccount", and also why every time i attempt to restart my computer from the lock screen, it says you or other users might lose unsaved works, this sounds like i'v more than one active account, which is not true.
and please tell my net users look ok. it doesn't look right to me.

This account is part of Windows Defender Application Guard which is included with RS3 (aka windows 10 fall update). The account is disabled also WDAG is not enabled.

Are you on Enterprise? or Edu? or windows insider?

Its not clear if its available on Win 10 home yet, hence my questions.

Secondly, we learn something about the future, specifically how things like Mode Based Execution Control (MBEC) might soon be used to boost Windows Defender Application Guard (WDAG), a Hyper‑V virtualization isolation layer used by, among other things, the Edge browser.

This is only available for enterprise customers today but Microsoft’s document hints that this will change at some point to include everyone.

Which brings us to the version of Windows that fully enables WDAG, namely Windows 10 version 1709, Fall Creators Update (released in mid-October), the Windows version that Microsoft’s new specification assumes as a sort of reference year zero.

its not the only other user, you have system and trustedinstaller as well, those are essentials.

I don't know why it tells you that but if you only human user and closed/saved all your data before hand, you can probably ignore it.

net users?

well...i'm on windows 10 pro, the issue i'v described regarding the warning message that i have received from the lock screen while trying to execute a reboot from lock screen led me to investigate more about the current available accounts built on my windows, then i discovered WDGA account, then i compared it to another windows 10 pro and got different result from that computer, probably the PC i compared to it didn't have the latest update. and i do close all my apps and software and everything before going to lock screen, but still get the same warning. thanks for the response anyway.
