    How to switch users at win 10 login

    Cannot see/login into other users at Login or Switch Users


    Hi all,

    My computer has three users on it (John, Lawrence, and Elizabeth). The problem right now is that John is the only one that can login to the computer.

    For Lawrence and Elizabeth, their users don't appear at the login screen (not even in the bottom left hand corner). When the computer starts up, John is already selected to login and just has to input his password.

    Also, when logged in as John, you are not able to see the "Switch User" button when clicking on the top left button of the start menu.

    I have tried following already:
    1. Running the "secedit /configure /cfg %windir%\inf\defltbase.inf /db defltbase.sdb /verbos" script in the command prompt
    2. Using the lusrmgr.msc to add the users

    I have attached a screenshot that shows how there are multiple users on the computer, but there is no "Switch User" option available.

    Anyone know what is going on and how to fix it?

    Thank you,
    John Panzo
