We have Windows 10 running under KVM but it won't shut down when it gets an ACPI power button request triggered by virsh shutdown win10 after a user locks the console---however, it will under the following conditions:

  • No user is logged in
  • User is logged in, screen is not locked
  • User is logged in via Remote Desktop and console is locked because of the remote session.

Here is the question: How do we make it shut down under all circumstances (in this case when the local console is locked by a local user, not by RDP)?

We tried setting Local Group Policy Editor->Computer Config->Windows Settings->Security Settings->Local Policy->User Right Assignment->Shut down the system for allowing ".\ANONYMOUS LOGON" but that doesn't seem to help.

We never got this working directly. Instead we installed the Windows SSH Server and the Linux UPS server that needs to shut down the VM ssh's to the windows console and uses rwinsta to reset the console session before shutting down the VM.
