  1. Other user option not available when logging into computer


    Why can't I log in with another ID? I can do it just fine on other laptops, this laptop doesn't have the option when logging in. Yes I've tried to add a new user to the computer, however, even when adding "work account" since it is a work account, I am unable to switch user. Yes, I've logged out, restarted, tried to run GPupdate etc.

    :)

    "There are currently no power options available" error under START menu

    I performed the two steps as suggested in the linked thread.
    1. I ran the System File Checker. It found a few corrupt files and replaced them but did not solve the main issue.
    2. I went through the security policies (had to figure out how to enable this because it wasn't available on my computer) and made sure the right users are added to the policy. This did not do anything to solve the problem.
    Still struggling here.
