Windows 10: Logoff, switch user in start windows

I want to add Log off and Switch user to my Start window. How do I do that?

:)

 

Where has the facility to logon/switch user/logoff a user gone and why has it gone?

Anybody else miffed by the fact that there is no Switch User/ Logoff facility in the Start menu any more? Some genius in development must have reckoned it was no longer required. Now to switch user you have to ctrl-alt-delete and choose it from there -
poor.

In my case, I have 3 users in my house but when I boot up the pc it jumps over the logon user screen and brings up my session automatically - no choice in the matter. My wife/son then has to use the task manager to switch user. Why does Microsoft do things
like this? Irritating or what?

I've also suffered the Cortana problem listed above, and other idiosyncrasies. Was this release tested?

  What exactly happens when you try to switch users?
