Windows 10: Cannot switch users in window 10 Home

I am unable to login to a second new user account I added to my computer. There is no option to login to the new account on the startup screen or from within the main account that I use. I tried to do it by enabling an "other users" page but I get "user profile service failed the sign in" error.
