Windows 10: Switch User Option not Available After Switching to OtherUser Account Can’t Log In To My...

I accidentally switched user accounts from my main account to Other User on the login screen when trying to log into my windows computer. However, I am unable to switch users back to my original user account to log in, as the option is not available. Is this a bug? This issue didn’t start until earlier this yearI have tried restarting the computer multiple times only to be presented with the same “Other User” login screen, and as far as I am aware there are no key combinations I can use to manually switch users. I have seen people use “Safe Mode” as an option, however I refuse to do this becau

Switching Users Only available when Logged Out

So I want to be able to switch users and when I first installed Windows 10 I could switch users while others were logged in all the time. Then for a while I wasn't and I just dealt with it, then I was able, and now I have returned to not being able to switch
users.

Here are the variables.

• Only current logged in user shows up in start menu
• The only options when clicking user in start menu are "Change Account Settings", "Lock", and "Log Out"
• Upon logging out, I will see all my users in bottom left of login screen.
• The lock screen does NOT show any users in the bottom left when logged in.
  
• There is no "Switch User" option in start menu or lock screen.
• This is the case for all users.

Is is a Windows version issue?

Are there programs that can keep me from doing this?

 

Switching Users Only available when Logged Out

As stated in my post, those options do not work.

• Only current logged in user shows up in start menu
• The only options when clicking user in start menu are "Change Account Settings", "Lock", and "Log Out"
• The lock screen does NOT show any users in the bottom left when logged in.

 

Switching User Account in Windows 10

Hi,

Thank you for posting on Microsoft Communities.

Follow the steps to switch user account without logging out or restart.

• On Left bottom corner, Click on Start button
• From the Menu screen, go to the TOP. [This should have the name of the user current logged in].
• Right click on Current User... Or change to other user.

Hope this information is helpful. Please post in case you have any further issues, we will be glad to help you.

Thank you.
