This setting applies to all the labs created in the lab account. A lab creator (educator) can override this setting at the lab level. The change to this setting at the lab account will only affect labs that are created after the change is made.
To disable this setting, uncheck the checkbox for the Automatically shutdown virtual machines when users disconnect option on this page.
