Windows 10: Run as different user asks for email

Previously Run as different user asked for account name as it can be seen on the screenshot below:Now, I have only option for entering email address instead of account name:Use different account doesn't do anything.Is there any option for entering account name instead of email address?

Best Multi-User Email App?

Hello. I am looking for an email app that will support 2 users, each with 2 different email accounts (one gmail and one outlook account each). Ideally they would like to use a single email program for both of them but would like separate inboxes for each person.

So, ideally:

• One email program.
• Two inboxes, with each inbox collecting email from a unique gmail account and a unique outlook account.

Will be interested in any suggestions.

 

different user accounts, only one email address?


Hi Geoff, welcome to the Ten Forums.

In Windows 10 it is not possible to use the same MS account for more than one user account on the same computer. If User-A signs in with an MS account User-A@AnyEmail.com, that MS account (email address) cannot be used to sign in any other user than User-A. User-B needs to use either a different MS account or a local account. However, you can use the same MS account on multiple computers.

There's no way to work around this restriction.

In your case I would simply install Windows 10 on both computers with a local admin account, then create an additional standard user account as an MS account on both computers using the same email address. If any of the two computers requires the gaming account, too, as you explained I would make this account a local account.

Tutorials:

• Clean install: Windows 10 - Clean Install - Windows 10 Forums (Step 23 shows how to make your initial admin account a local account)
• Create additional users: User Account - Add in Windows 10 - Windows 10 Forums (Option Four explains how to create the additional user as an MS account, Option Three how to create the gaming account as a local account)

 

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.
