Windows 10: Cannot login to other users accounts on Windows 11 Home

I have been able to login to the 2 other accounts on this now 1+yr old PC until very recently--suddenly there is no option to do switch accounts and it remains in the account of the last logged in user. I have tried adding the fast user switching DWORD manually into the registry---nothing changed. All of the folders and files assoc with those accounts are still there and I can manage the users via lusrmgr.exe , but since this is HOME version I can't access the usual snapins. The active acct is an admin acct so I tried adding a new local user but it still does not show a way to access that acc

Unknown user account at windows 10 login screen

I have the same issue but I have 11 users and now on the log in screen I have 11 user names and 11 of the "password" with the "key" next to them. So, that's 22 logins on the lock screen. The "password" logins are actually the users. I am trying to get rid
of the "password" tabs so only my user names show on the login screen. I checked for the registry folder you mentioned and it is not in the list.

Any other suggestions?

 

Windows users at login

I cannot see all of my user accounts on the login screen on a new Windows 10 laptop. I have an account for my son and it does not appear as a user on the login screen. It is listed if I display the users with the CMD prompt. The only account I see is my
account which is an admin. His account is a user. All the suggestions I've seen are not available on home edition.
