    Not able to Switch User Windows 10


    I have 4 user accounts. Only one administrator profile. However, I am not able to see three of the profiles in the windows login page. They are not listed under the start menu. When I attempt use administrative privileges it shows that the accounts are somewhere on the computer, but I’m stuck on the child profile and its the only listed on start menu. How can this be fixed?

    :)
