Windows 10: Shift+Right Click > Run As Different User in Windows 10

I am wondering why Windows 10 machines take so long to run as different user. All the Windows 7 machines in our environment are able to run programs and installation files as different user in a matter of seconds, but EVERY single Windows 10 machine takes a full 1-2 minutes. This includes attempts to open command prompt and use the "runas /user:" command.


It's also not related to the system having to create a user profile, because this same issue will happen multiple times in a single support session. After the first 'runas' attempt, the admin account user profile has been built, so the second time I try to runas different user, it should speed up but it does not.


What was changed from Windows 7 to Windows 10 that creates this issue, and is it something that can be mitigated by tinkering with the image we deploy?

The delays are constantly affecting our ability to support our users in a timely fashion, and there's no logical reason for it.

My google searches on this problem have given me zero useful information.

If it works fine on Windows 7 and works like **** on Windows 10, that means you all did something wrong.. it's pretty much that simple.. even if it is something that can be managed by tweaking settings on our end, Microsoft is the one that created this problem.

Windows 10 Tweaks

Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

• Open a new Explorer window.
• Click View in the ribbon.
• Click Options.
• Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
• Click OK

Run Edge browser as a different user

1. Make a shortcut to:
   

%windir%\explorer.exe shell:Appsfolder\Microsoft.MicrosoftEdge_8wekyb3d8bbwe!MicrosoftEdge

1. Then you can run it as a different user by going to Application Tools -> Manage then clicking the dropdown and selecting "Run as another user".
   
2. (Optional) If Shift + Right Clicking and selecting "Run as another user" works for you then you can do that instead.
