Restarting doesn't end user sessions on Windows 11
You're facing a challenge with multiple users staying logged in on your Windows 11 PCs. It seems the standard restart method isn't working anymore. You mentioned being able to reset the system but not having an automated way to clear all active sessions. As an admin, you can manually check sessions and log them off, but that feels tedious. You're looking for a more efficient solution or a way to restore the original behavior where a single restart would end all sessions.
I think you want to look into disabling Locking the account. There is a GPO, and you can, as Admin, disable it via Power Options panel. By default Windows 10 and 11 re-logins in and reload application, even unsaved documents (for select apps that support this, like web browser and Win11 Notepad). This is to quickly recover from a system restart. This was a system to help because people complained about Windows Update needed to restart the system. And yes, you can also disable that feature under the Settings panel or GPO
