    Windows 10 set default user on lockscreen


    I have a computer with Windows 10 professional, and I have 2 accounts on it. One is mine that I use very frequently, the other is for another user who uses the computer less frequently.

    Whenever I lock my account or when the computer starts up, the lock screen always shows the log in prompt for the other user. This seems to be because the second user was created after my account - I created another test account and that one was picked as 'default' over the second user.

    I was wondering, is there a way to set mine as the default account to show the login prompt for? It seems odd that it shows the login prompt for the other user when I was the last active user - I know that on Windows 7 it would show the password prompt for you only when you locked your account.

    Otherwise it seems I would have to delete my account and recreate it so that it is the most recently created account - making it the 'default' on the lock screen.

    :)

    Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

    Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

    • Open a new Explorer window.
    • Click View in the ribbon.
    • Click Options.
    • Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
    • Click OK

    Unable to set default browser

    • Does this issue happens while you try to set other browser as default too or is it specific to specific browser?

    Any browser.

    Already did the steps you suggested. It's some kind of bug where it's impossible to set a default browser at all.

    I heard elsewhere from one other user     that it seems to be a problem with upgrading to 10 on the SP3. Sounds very specifc.
