    My problem : Alt+F4 give me the option of switching users but only the current user "nemo" is selectable
    All users are set active including the built-in Administrator

    I do not know why "Password required" is set to No
    the result is that switching user is disabled everywhere

    I have created another user "nemo2" for test

    I should probably delete user "nemo" to check if it is back to normal
    but I do not want to lose my profile

    PS1: by running "net user nemo /passwordreq:yes" it is now correct, but still no user switching...

    any idea ?

    Problems switching users

    Using same HP Envy 17", touch screen PC with i7 processor, 16GB of ram.

    I notice that switching users using CTRL-ALT-DEL will work as expected. Windows pops up a dialog, select "Switch User" and the expected login screen appears.

    The problem is only when attempting to switch users by selecting the other user from the Start menu. Attempting to switch users from the start menu brings up a spinning icon for about 20 seconds, followed by the blue screen with the windows image, but NEVER
    shows a login screen. Also , CTRL-ALT-DEL does NOTHING once you are at this blue screen.

    This seems to be quite specific to the HP envy 17" computers as no one else seems to be posting this issue.

    Hi,

    Thanks for replying to us with the status of your issue.

    As per your query, I like to inform you that; there is no any option to sign out from Windows feedback app.

    You need to switch to Local user account from Windows login screen. To switch the user, just press
    Windows key + L and select the Local user account to login.

    Hope it helps, reply to us with the status of your issue. We will be happy to assist you.
