If you're using Windows 10, the sign out option for Netflix can be found in the "..." menu. If you're using Windows 8, the Netflix settings can be accessed from the Windows 8 Charms bar. You can also use the Netflix website to sign out of all of your devices at once.

Method 1 of 2:

Using the Netflix Website

- If you use the Netflix app from the Window Store to view Netflix videos instead of the Netflix website, see the next section.
2
Click your account name in the upper-right corner. This will open a small menu with your Netflix profiles and account options.

Select "Sign out of Netflix" to log out immediately. This will sign you out of the Netflix website and return you to the login page.
4
Select "Your Account" if you want to log out everywhere. You can use your account page to log out of all devices and computers that you are currently signed into. This can be useful if you forgot to sign out on a public computer or at a friend's house:
- Click the "Sign out of all devices" in the "Settings" section of the Your Account page. After confirming, all of your connected devices will be immediately signed out.
5
Clear your cookies and cache if you can't sign out. If you click the "Sign Out" option and you are still logged in with your Netflix account, there may be a problem with your cookies or cache. Clearing both of these should completely log you out of Netflix.
