Switch User does not work from LeftCLick start button

Using Start10, in Modern Style Format: Left click the Start button to get start menu, click Shut Down, one of the options is 'Switch User'. This does not work (click it and nothing happnes), and it doesn't work whichever of 2 users is logged on.

If I Right Click the Start button and click on the Shut Down options, the Windows 10 dialogue window for shut down opens and using the drop down menu, the 'Switch User' option does work.

Is this a glitch in Sart10?

It sounds like you may not be using 1.0 as that was an issue in 0.99 on the final build.

I would uninstall Start10, reboot and reinstall Start10 and it should be fine.

Also does the lock option do anything for you?

I have just checked and I have version 1.0 installed.

I do not have a 'Lock' option from the Shut Down options after left clicking - just Switch user, Sign Out, Restart and Hibernate. Only the Switch user does not work.

I suspect the problem is the lack of lock as on Windows 10 lock and switch user are one and the same.

Is this your computer or on a domain as usually this would be a group policy setting.

This is just a personal at home desktop PC (Lenovo) with two users - me and my wife.

Maybe best for me to uninstall and then reinstall Start10????? Maybe a new download even?

My version is an upgrade from Start8. Can I redownload without having to pay for it again??!!!!

OK, I downloaded a new version of Start10 from the link suggested by The_Gear, having logged in to my account, and saved it in my downloads. I then uninstalled Start10 and restarted the PC. I then re-installed from the new downloaed version and..........................the same thing happnes, no change - clicking Switch User from the Shut Down options from the left click menu of Start10 does absolutely nothing, zero, zilch.

Oh, and I temporarily disabled my anti-virus software whilst re-installing Start10.

So.........................where do I go from here, please?
