How to Switch user at Locked Screen in Windows 10

SOS, any ideas?

Running Windows 10 Pro on multiple PCs. All PCs have multiple user accounts defined. Only one PC allows users to logon by picking their name from the list of users. If a users is already logged on, and the desktop is locked, that user must log off entirely
before the user list shows.

This is not the case on one of PCs. On the one PC, if a user left the PC with a locked Desktop, any configured user can simply select their name and switch user without the need to log off the previous user. All processes and apps are left intact as well
for the previous user.

I did notice that after pressing CTRL+ALT+DEL the PC that is working as needed offers the option to "Switch User" whereas the other PCs do not offer that option.

I did read suggestions
HERE to no avail. Does anyone have any ideas? We are not using picture security on any pf the PCs. Any tips or help will be greatly appreciated.

 

Windows Spotlight on the lock screen

Hi,

There are multiple causes on why you're encountering this issue. To further troubleshoot the issue, we suggest that you disable and re-enable Spotlight. Simply follow the steps below:

• Right-click on the desktop and open Personalize.
• Open Lock Screen tab.
• Under Background, switch from Windows Spotlight to a Picture or the Slideshow.
• Click OK and close the Window.
• Now Log off and log in.
• Navigate to Lock screen and enable Windows Spotlight again.

Let us know how it works.

 

Switch user at Picture Password Lock Screen Windows 10

Hi Ruth,

This is true, but as from Windows 10, the list is only visible when on text password login.

When on picture password login, only the last logged in user is show.

To switch user you have 2 solutions:

Login to the last user (I you know the picture password), then Windows Start button, then click on active user and choose 'switch user'

If you don't know the picture password or you don't want to log in, you need to switch to the text password, then all the PC users appear on the left side. You choose the user you want, then click the picture password button and then you can log in.

Please add all users of a PC to the left side on the lock screen of text password AND picture password.

Thx
