Windows 10: Switch User after Enabling HideFastUserSwitching Group Policy Win 10

Hi Geeks,

I have 3 users for example Rose, Tom, Hive. I have Enabled HideFastUserSwitching Group Policy and Disabled sign out, sleep, lock, hibernate options due to installed application security. I want to switch user only after restart or shut down windows 10. I was able to perform this in win 7, 8.1 but not in win 10 64 bit. is there any scope to do this in windows 10 64 bit?

Thanks in advance.

Option 1 – Group Policy [This worked for me]

Hold the Windows Key and press “R” to bring up the Run dialog box.

Type “gpedit.msc” then press “Enter“.

The Local Group Policy Editor appears. Expand the following:

Local Computer Policy

Computer Configuration

Administrative Templates

System

Logon

Open “Hide Entry Points for Fast User Switching“.

Select “Enabled” to turn Fast User Switching off. Set it to “Disable” to turn it on.

Option 2 – Registry

Hold the Windows Key and press “R” to bring up the Run dialog box.

Type “regedit” then press “Enter“.

Expand the following:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE

SOFTWARE

Microsoft

Windows

CurrentVersion

Policies

System

Look for a value called “HideFastUserSwitching“. If it does not exist, right-click the “System” folder, select “New DWORD 32-bit value“, then type a name of “HideFastUserSwitching“. Press “Enter” to create the value.

Double-click “HideFastUserSwitching“. Change the “Value data” to “1” to disable Fast User Switching, set it to “0” to enable it.
