    "Run As Different User" no longer works


    I work in the IT department for a community college. For a while, especially with the Covid-19 pandemic, we used a workaround for doing one-time installs remotely, especially if it was a program that wouldn't work with our managed deployment for whatever reason. We would start a session with the user through Quick Assist or Zoom + screen share, shift+right-click for the Run As Different User option, and manually entering in administrator credentials. It worked well for us.Lately I have not been able to install anything with this method. Across multiple Windows 11 laptops, the same error happen

    Hibernate no longer working for desktop PC

    I always disable Fast start.
    It makes it harder to interrupt start from shutdown [Bios & Boot menu keys only work when the maker's logo is onscreen]. I appreciate that it makes no difference to restart.

    I'm amazed that I have not suggested re-installing your display driver - not just check for an update, re-install.
    In Windows 7 it was the standard first step when there was a sleep/hibernate problem.

    I should also suggest testing in a different user account [even if you have to make one for the test] in case it is some strange corruption in your current user account.

    "Run As Different User" no longer works

    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.
