  1. Logging into 2 users without having to log out of one


    On Windows 10, you were able to log into a user, then switch user to log into another account. That option doesn't seem to be available in Windows 11. Am I missing something or is it the version I'm using?

    :)

    Struggling to log on

    Hello all,

    I have a friend who registered here a couple of weeks ago (Jacko28), but he's struggling to log on. He logs on, but once trying to create a post - it logs him out.

    He's deleted cookies, tried a diffrent browers, and other various things.

    Can anyone suggest anything?

    Wasley

  3. When a user logs in, other users are also logged in

    Thank you for updating us. it is truly possible that another user is still being recognized by your operating system. To disconnect the other user logged in, you may follow the steps below:

    • Press Windows key + Shift key + Esc
      to go to Task Manager.
    • Go to the Users tab.
    • If you see the other user there, right-click on it and press Disconnect.

    Let us know how that turned out for you.
