Switch user not working

June 18, 2015 3:01:54 AM from Stardock ForumsStardock Forums

I've just starting using the Start10 beta 0.57 on build 10130, and everything works except switch user

Instead of showing the login screen to select a user, the login screen is show very briefly and it logs you straight back in as the current user

Do you have a password set on your account?

It kind of works if you have a password, as when it briefly hits the login screen it then cant log back in without it

 

That doesn't really fix the problem though

Switch user was a special kind of lock and unfortunately Microsoft have made the OS automatically dismiss the lock screen when you do not have a password.

We will be investigating other solutions to this, but for now using a password is a workaround.  Note that the use of a password is always recommended anyway.

No accounts on my computer have a password - this is a family computer shared by my wife and myself so passwords are just extra hassle we can do without.

Thanks for the reply

 

Currently opening the standard 10 menu with Ctrl and switching user by clicking the user icon is working for me

 

Hitting win + L takes you directly to the lock screen too, maybe you could just make switch user do that?

Yes I think that might be the way to go.  For now those who are having the issue, pick Lock instead of Switch user.
