    Win 10 log in screen does say which users are logged in

    Hi Kevin,

    Thank you for posting in Community, I understand your concern and we will try to assist you in the best way we can.

    As per your query, I am led to believe that you are unable to see the current users who are logged into your computer.

    I would suggest that you lock your computer by holding the windows button+L key,
    once on the lock screen press any button and in the left corner of the screen you will see the list of users that are currently logged in.

    Hope this information helps.

    When a user logs in, other users are also logged in

    Hi Stefan,

    There can be many possible reasons why you're experiencing this issue. It can be due to system file corruption that is why your computer gets confused with the user profiles. To narrow down the possible causes and for us to provide the troubleshooting steps
    needed, we would like to gather more information:

    • What is the edition and version of your Windows 10? You can check this by following these steps: Press
      Windows key + I, Click System, and then
      About.
    • Can you send us a screenshot of the warning message?
    • Did you make any recent changes on your computer prior to this issue?
    • When logged in, can you see the settings or personalization made by other users?

    Regards.

    Windows 10 User Log-In Issue

    Hi,

    I apologize for not addressing you in a timely manner. Let me help you in resolving the issue.

    I would suggest you to delete all the user account apart from the one which you are able to log in with Admin rights. Install all pending Windows and driver updates.
    Updates are additions to software that can help prevent or fix problems, improve how your computer works, or enhance your computing experience. Follow the steps below to create new user account and check if that helps.

    • Press “Windows Key + R".
    • Type “netplwiz”.
    • Click on Add and follow the onscreen instructions.

    Keep us posted on Windows related queries and we will be happy to assist you further.
