Windows 10: Unable to log into other accounts from sign-in screen

I recently upgrade two home computers to Windows 10. One from Windows 8.1 and one from Windows 7. The windows 7 upgrade has been flawless so far. On the other machine (previously Windows 8.1) I have two accounts. One is the administrator account, which I use, and one is my son's account.

Once my son's account is logged in, the ONLY way to log into the administrator account is to select it from the start menu. Once the sign-in screen appears - from logging out, from the machine sleeping, or from a restart - there is no way (that I have found) to select the admin account for logging in. I have clicked everywhere, tried several function keys and alt-function combos, looked at all the settings and googled quite a bit with no solution.

Again, the problem is that once the sign-in screen appears, the ONLY way to log into my admin account is to first log into my son's account and the select the admin account from the start menu.

My other machine, upgraded from Windows 7, has the same two user accounts and does NOT have this problem. It always shows both accounts to select on the sign-in screen.

The admin account was previously a local account that I converted to a Microsoft account (by signing in with my Microsoft ID). My son's account was created new after the Windows 10 upgrade. It is tied to his Microsoft account.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Error 0x80180018 when trying to add a second work account on Windows 10

The previous account you were logged into prior to creating the other Local Account with the Work Account, are you unable to log into that account now?

Is the new Work account you created now missing from the sign in screen?

 

Unable to see new users in the windows 10 login screen

Hi,

I recently upgraded from Windows 7 to Windows 10 Core. After migration I am able to log into windows 10 using my Microsoft account. I subsequently added my Wife to the family in the settings - accounts - Family and other users screen. I had to create her
outlook account. I logged in into her newly created outlook account and accepted the invite in her inbox. After this, her account was showing up in the Family and other users screen with status "Can Sign in".

However when I am restarting the lap top, I am unable to see the option for her to log into the laptop. The log in screen shows only my user id. Any help with this would be appreciated.

Regards

 

Bumping this. Does anyone have any thoughts?
