Windows 10: Other User Sign in for Windows not available

We have a new employee. When trying to log into the computer, the other User is Admin. There is no "Other User" option available for her to login with. Can you assist with her being able to select "Other User" so she can sign in under her own account?

Microsoft Sudoku not available to other users

Hi Larry,

Thank you for responding.

As Microsoft account has an issue, I suggest you to run Microsoft account troubleshooter from my previous post and check if it helps.

If the issue still persists, the account might have got corrupted.

I suggest you to convert the Microsoft account to local account, and convert newly created local account (with no issues)to Microsoft account to transfer the user content.

Step 1: To convert the Microsoft account to local account, you can do the following:

• Sign in to your Microsoft account on Windows 10.
• Click Start and then Settings.
• Click Accounts and Sign in with a local account instead.
• Enter your Microsoft account's password, and click on Next.
• Type in a Username, Password, and Password Hint that you want to set for your Local account and click
  Next. Click on Sign out and Finish button.

Step 2: To convert Local account to Microsoft account, follow these steps:

• Make sure you are device is connected to internet.
• On the newly converted Local account (with no issues), click Start and then Settings.
• Click Accounts and click on Sign in with a Microsoft account instead.
• Follow onscreen instructions.

Step 3: Once the newly created local account is converted to Microsoft account, you can log-in with this account, try to access
This PC and copy the contents from the old user account to a newly created user account.

Steps:

• Press Windows + E, click on
  This PC in the left pane.
• Double click on C: drive (Usually where the operating system is being installed)
• Double click on Users and older user profile folder.
  
• Copy all the content from that user profile to the newly created user profile.

Hope it helps. Feel free to contact us for further assistance on Windows Operating System, we will be happy to help you.

 

How to sign in to Windows 10 as different User

Hi,

There are several ways that you can do to switch between your 2 accounts, such as going through
Start menu, through Ctrl +
Alt + Delete screen, through Sign-in
screen or through Task Manager. For us to isolate the issue, we would like to ask the following questions:

• Are you connected to a domain or managed by Windows Server?
• Have you made any recent changes to your system settings prior to this issue?
• What troubleshooting steps have you done so far?

In the meantime, we suggest that you follow these steps to switch user account:

• Click/tap on your desktop to make it the current focused (active) window, and press
  Alt + F4 keys to open Shut Down Windows window.
• Click on the drop down menu and select Switch user.
• You will now be taken to the lock screen to unlock.
• It will show you the sign-in screen to select and sign in to the account you want to switch to.

We will wait for your response.

 

Current active users that are friends

The other reason I suggested this is that users can add characters to their username that are not alphanumeric (e.g. user*). This confuses things somewhat when looking at the list.
