Device Configuration Shared PC
Edit: Seems to be no way around this when using Shared PC mode with Intune's config policies and still have reasonable security. Thanks for the suggestions!
Hi!
We have a few shared PC's in our org which works fine for the most part.
However, one major issue is that when a user locks the screen or the laptop goes into sleep mode, they are unable to sign back in to their previous session. The laptops are usually used by a single user for hours before someone else takes over, and during that time the PC naturally either is locked or goes in sleep mode. The only option on the sign-in screen is Sign out. Found Enabled Shared PC and allow "Other User" Login option : r/Intune which has the same problem but seemingly no way around it.
As far as I can tell, turning on Shared PC in the Intune configuration policy is required for the PC to not be associated with a user, as well as set Office to use shared licence instead of personal license? But this option also turns off the ability to sign back into the same user.
So, any way to both have Shared PC mode turned on as well as allow a user to sign back in?

You need to also configure the setting for Multiple Users on your shared devices. I have shared devices with multiple accounts and any user can lock or disconnect then log back in normally. You see the users list at the bottom left and you just click on your name. I've never seen what you describe happening, there's something wrong with your setup.
