Windows 10 - User Switching When Using Picture Logon

In Windows 8.1, I have an account which uses a picture to unlock the account and another account on the same machine that just uses a standard password entry.

With the install of Windows 10, this carried over however there is no longer a way to switch to the other user when on the picture unlock login screen.

The only way to choose the other user is to change to the password input method of logging in then selecting the other user in the bottom left corner of the screen.

I would request that the area to choose another user be existent on the picture logon screen as well so that you do not have to switch back and forth on your logon screen or provide a link/button to the effect of "not this user? click here" in order to bring
up the other users. The annoyance is that once you choose to use the traditional password logon, if you want to go back to using the picture logon again, you would need to select that option which to me is just extra steps not needed.

To duplicate:

1. Log into account using picture logon

2. Log off of that account

3. Screen will still remain on the last user you were logged in as and it will be the picture logon option

4. There is no option to choose the other user on the machine

5. Click on the password logon option to go to the traditional logon screen and then you can choose the other user and logon as expected.

 

1709 - Unable to logon with an other user (switch user)

After upgrading from 1703 to 1709 it's only possible to logon with the user that started the upgrade. No User Switch is possible.

I tried all possibilities.

No malware detected according to Defender, HitManPro and MBAM.

• HP PRO 3300 MT with latest BIOS version
• Windows 10 Pro NL
  
• There are only local accounts (HHV3, HHVadmin (Admin), and others.

I rolled back, made an other local user Rein (Admin) did the upgrade again from

• Windows Update (No result)
• MCT local update
• USB-stick, made with MCT.

All, with no result.

I tried:

• Gpedit – Enable/Disable fast user switching
  
  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Authentication\LogonUI\UserSwitch
• The same but direct in the register.
• Boot to safe mode
• Made a new user (Didn't show up)
• net user <user> /active:no
  
  net user <user> /active:yes
• All of
  --> this <----
• Several apps and antivirus removed before upgrade
• SFC /scannow
• DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth
• Made REIN a MS account and ran: Microsoft Account Troubleshooter
  
  -> I also did the upgrade with te MS-account Rein!
• Changed the rights of HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Authentication\LogonUI\UserSwitch
  so that only Rein (Admin) could change the value (It still reverted back to 0) After changing the rights it stayed on 1 but no effect.

I also had help from Microsoft Customer Support (Ticket: SRX1410652888ID) Netherlands (Melania and Corado - Located in Hongary) Both suggested things I already did.

Last mail from Corado:

"My superior does not have anything further to add, and I myself am running out of ideas. How would you like to proceed? Perhaps you could make a post on answers.microsoft.com to see if other Windows 10 users have had this issue and found something we
missed?"

I hope someone has another idea? Other than reinstalling!!!

 

How to Switch user at Locked Screen in Windows 10

SOS, any ideas?

Running Windows 10 Pro on multiple PCs. All PCs have multiple user accounts defined. Only one PC allows users to logon by picking their name from the list of users. If a users is already logged on, and the desktop is locked, that user must log off entirely
before the user list shows.

This is not the case on one of PCs. On the one PC, if a user left the PC with a locked Desktop, any configured user can simply select their name and switch user without the need to log off the previous user. All processes and apps are left intact as well
for the previous user.

I did notice that after pressing CTRL+ALT+DEL the PC that is working as needed offers the option to "Switch User" whereas the other PCs do not offer that option.

I did read suggestions
HERE to no avail. Does anyone have any ideas? We are not using picture security on any pf the PCs. Any tips or help will be greatly appreciated.
