  4. HOW TO Force signed In users to automatically log off when switching users in windows 10

    Switching Users Only available when Logged Out

    As stated in my post, those options do not work.

    • Only current logged in user shows up in start menu
    • The only options when clicking user in start menu are "Change Account Settings", "Lock", and "Log Out"
    • The lock screen does NOT show any users in the bottom left when logged in.
