    Hey folks,As the title says, I have another user set-up on my computer but the button to "Switch User" is completely missing from all the places that it should be. I am only able to log in a user if I log the current one out completely. If the computer is locked then I can only unlock it with the current user, and no button appears that allows me to switch and log in with another user.Does anyone know why this could be happening? All my google-fu has provided no answers.Help would be much appreciated!

    :)

    How to switch user if the other user didn't log off?

    Hi Grace.Y-

    I'm Kevin B. Independent advisor and Windows user like you. I do apologize for the inconvenience about switching user on your Windows, let me help you sort things out.

    There are a lot of ways to switch user on your device:

    1st. You can click on the start menu on the lower left corner of the screen.

    - Click on the User icon on the left side of the start menu.

    - Click on the User that you need to sign in.

    2nd. Go to your desktop screen on your device.

    - Press ALT + F4 button at the same time on the keyboard.

    - Select Switch user.

    - You will be taken off to the log in screen and you will be able to switch your user.

    3rd. Go to your desktop screen on your device.

    - Press Ctrl + Alt + Del button on your keyboard.

    - Click on the switch user option on the list that you will be seeing.

    - After that you will be taken off to log in screen and you will be able to switch user.

    That is the three basic step to switch user on your device.

    Hope this will help and have a bless day!

    Thanks.

    Kevin B.

    Switching User without logging off

    Hi,

    Thank you for the reply.


    • Were you able to try “Alt key + F4”?

    • Is the Switch User button active?

    Suggest you to close all open windows and restart the computer once to check if that helps.

    Keep us informed to help you further.
