  1. Switch user option disapears often - need to reinstall each time


    Hello,

    Again, the switch user option is gone in my start menu, at my login screen and at the alt+f4 menu on windows desktop.

    The only way i could make it appear again last time was to reinstall the computer


    Actually, the only way i can switch user acounts is to log into the only account i see avaiable at the login screen, then from this account, log out.

    Then, i see all accounts on my computer.


    I am NOT in a domain, i am running a HOME edition of windows 10 ( no GPEDIT commands, thanks)
