I remember back in the XP days there was a tool named "UPHClean" ( https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/837115/). According to that article: "UPHClean monitors the computer while you log off, and then UPHClean unloads and reconciles user profiles..." Also in that article: "Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008 include the functionality of the automatic detection and fix tool (UPHClean)..." So if I had to guess: * The core Windows "User Profile Service" (profsvc) automatically handles profile unloading * The Microsoft port of OpenSSH relies on this functionality instead of calling UnloadUserProfile on its own I could be wrong, of course (as I said, this is just guesswork on my part).
