Where is the setting where I can turn this off and not allow my user to be automatically logged off when inactive?

How to Fix macOS 10.14 Keeps Logging You Out Issue
There is no other way to do this, so this is an amazing Mac article, thanks again! I wish there was a way short of a complete reboot to have a log-out end ALL the processes that get created when you switch to another user. Did you ever find a solution for this? I have the same issue with the kids accounts. It would be great if there was a command to kill all processes belonging to a particular user?

If this is a tip for admins which is seems like it is then I might suggest going the command line route so long as ssh is enabled on the machine for at least the admin acct:. It is possible to log in, run apps or processes, then and log out of additional user accounts without ever disturbing the active user. This is done from a remote machine on the network. To set up this ability, open the Sharing Preference Pane. This will give the option to log in using a user name and password. Log in to the desired account. Do what you need to do, and then using the Apple Menu of the virtual session, log out.
