    Fast user switching signs me out


    I have 3 local user accounts. When I try to switch between them, my apps are closed and I get signed out.

    I've tried the 6 different methods in this tutorial The Switch User option does not appear in the option list in response to Ctrl+Alt+Del. It does appear in the list when Alt+F4 is pressed. But whichever of the 6 methods I use when switching, the current account gets signed off.

    I just installed the system (build 10240) a day ago, and have done very little to it so far.

    Has anyone else had problems with user switching?

    Alt-F4 to close Windows? --> Switch User

    I was used to turn off my computer by pressing Alt-F4 a few times. It would end with a window opening that had as default 'Shut down'. Not any more. Now I get 'Switch user' as default. And choosing 'Shut down' will not give me that wanted and expected
    choice the next time. I even used the regular way to shut down my computer, by clicking Start (followed by Power and Shut down) hoping it would revert back. How can I get my 'Shut down' back when I press Alt-F4?
