Select user windows 10

People often share their computers and devices with others. Whether your little brother or sister or one of your grandparents wants to experience the world of technology, they could cause problems with your PC or your important data because they are unfamiliar with using Windows. That is why Windows 10 allows you to create separate accounts for every user, each with their own files, settings, and apps. If your computer or device has multiple user accounts on it, here’s how to switch users in Windows 10:

IMPORTANT: Before continuing with this guide, I want to explain something important: When you switch the user in Windows 10, the user account you previously used is still signed in. If the new user shuts down the computer, the work of the initial user might get lost because that user may not have saved its data or closed its running apps. Also, the apps opened by the first user continue to run in the background, using precious hardware resources. Therefore, I recommend you use Sign Out instead of the Switch user option from Windows 10. This ensures that the initial user is logged off and all their apps are closed, freeing up resources. Having said that, if you still prefer to use Switch user instead of Sign Out > Switch user > Sign in, keep reading this guide.

1. How to switch the user in Windows 10 from the login screen

When you start your Windows 10 PC or laptop (it doesn’t matter whether it’s made by HP, Lenovo, Dell, ASUS, or some other manufacturer), the operating system takes some time to load and then displays the Lock screen. Click or tap anywhere on the Lock screen or press any key on the keyboard to see the Sign-in screen or the Login screen, as some people call it.

Welcome to the Windows 10 Lock Screen

Welcome to the Windows 10 Lock Screen

Windows 10 shows you the user accounts on your computer in the bottom left corner of the Login screen. Select the user you want to access by clicking or tapping their name.

Change the user from the Login screen

Change the user from the Login screen

By default, Windows 10 requests the last sign-in method used for the selected account: the password, PIN, picture password, etc. Enter the requested information to sign in to Windows 10.

Enter the sign in information of the new user

Enter the sign in information of the new user

IMPORTANT: If Facial recognition (Windows Hello) is enabled, Windows 10 may automatically log you in with your default account when it detects your face. If this happens and prevents you from switching users, make sure you disable or block the camera, then try again.

If you need to change the sign-in method, click or tap the Sign-in options link, and then choose the method you want to use. After that, enter the necessary information to sign in with the user account you’ve selected.

After successfully signing in, Windows 10 shows you the desktop, and you can start using your PC.

TIP: If you use a long password to sign in to Windows 10, you can set a short PIN and use it instead for faster logins. Here’s how to create and log in to Windows 10 with a PIN.

2. How to switch the user in Windows 10 from the Start Menu

If you have already signed into Windows 10, you can change the user from the Start Menu. Open the Start Menu by pressing the Windows key on your keyboard or clicking/tapping the Windows icon on the taskbar. Then, click or tap your user account picture on the Start Menu’s left bar.

Open the Start Menu and click on your user icon

Open the Start Menu and click on your user icon

A small menu pops up next to your user icon. Select the user you want to switch to. In my case, it is named Digital Citizen. There will be other users shown on your computer, and you can have more than one user listed here.

Choose the user you want to switch to

Choose the user you want to switch to

This takes you to the Login screen, where the selected user is loaded. Enter the appropriate sign-in information, and you are logged into Windows 10 with that user.

Login with the new user

Login with the new user

NOTE: Remember that you can switch between sign-in options by clicking or tapping Sign-in options and selecting the one you want to use.

3. Switch the user in Windows 10 using a keyboard shortcut (Windows + L)

Some people are looking for a keyboard shortcut that helps them quickly switch users on their Windows 10 laptop or desktop computer. There are several shortcuts, and the easiest to use is this:

Windows + L

Press Windows + L to lock your user and switch to a new one

Press Windows + L to lock your user and switch to a new one

When you press these keys, you are locked from your user account, and the Lock screen wallpaper is shown. Click or tap anywhere to see the Login screen and choose the account you want to switch to. Enter the necessary login information, and you’re done.🙂

TIP: If you find your user password too difficult to type or you need to change it for security reasons, here’s a detailed step-by-step guide on changing your Windows 10 user account password.

4. How to switch the user in Windows 10 from the command line (CMD, PowerShell, or Windows Terminal)

If you need to work inside the Command Prompt, PowerShell, or Windows Terminal, there are two commands you can use. First, open CMD or the command-line app you prefer. Then type this command and press Enter to execute it:

tsdiscon

Run tsdiscon in CMD, PowerShell, or Terminal

Run tsdiscon in CMD, PowerShell, or Terminal

When you run tsdiscon, the current user is locked, and you see the Lock screen where you can change the user and log in with a new one. Note, however, that this method doesn’t work in Windows 10 Home. When you try to run it on this edition of Windows 10, you receive an error message: “tsdiscon is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.” This command can be used only in Windows 10 Pro or other editions such as Windows 10 Enterprise.

Luckily, you can use another command that works in all editions of Windows 10:

shutdown /l

Run shutdown / in CMD, PowerShell, or Terminal

Run shutdown / in CMD, PowerShell, or Terminal

The outcome of this command is slightly different: it signs you out from Windows 10 and then displays the Lock screen. On it, click, tap, or press a key on your keyboard and choose the user you want to switch to.

5. How to change the user in Windows 10 with CTRL + ALT + DEL

Another keyboard shortcut that you can use for switching users in Windows 10 is this:

CTRL + ALT + DEL

Pressing these keys works only when you are already signed into Windows 10 with a user account. And when you press them, you see the Ctrl Alt Delete screen with the options below. Click or tap on Switch user.

Choose Switch user in the Ctrl Alt Delete screen

The Login screen is shown, and this is where you can select the user you want to switch to. Enter the appropriate login information, and you’re done.🙂

6. How to switch the user in Windows 10 using ALT + F4

This method also works only if you are already logged in with a user account. First, go to the Windows 10 desktop and make sure all apps are minimized. Then press these keys on your keyboard:

ALT + F4

You see the Shut Down Windows prompt, asking you to choose what you want the computer to do. Click or tap the drop-down list.

The Shut Down Windows prompt

The Shut Down Windows prompt

Choose Switch user in the list and click or tap OK.

Choose Switch user and press OK

Choose Switch user and press OK

You are taken to the Login screen to select the user you want to switch to.

TIP: If you need to change the permissions of a user account, here’s how to change an account to Administrator and back in Windows 10.

7. How to switch the user in Windows 10 while being asked for a picture password

If the most recent user account that has signed in to Windows 10 was using a picture password, when you are at the login screen, you see that user account and the picture they use as a password. Under the user account name, you have two links: one for accessing other sign-in options for the same user account and one for switching users. Click or tap Switch user.

Choose Switch User before entering the picture password

Choose Switch User before entering the picture password

This displays a list of the existing user accounts on your Windows 10 computer or device. Click or tap the user that you want to switch to.

Choose another user account

Choose another user account

Then, you are asked to enter the login details that were used previously for that account: the password, PIN, or picture password.

TIP: If you have too many user accounts on your Windows 10 computer, here’s how to remove an account from Windows.

8. How to switch the user in Windows 10 from the Task Manager

This method is cumbersome to use, and it works only after you have signed in with all the user accounts you want to use. First, access the Task Manager (a quick way to do this is to press Ctrl+Shift+Esc on your keyboard), and if it opens in its compact view, click or tap More details.

Click or tap More details in Task Manager

Click or tap More details in Task Manager

Then, go to the Users tab and right-click (or press and hold) the user account you want to switch to. In the menu that pops up, choose Switch user account.

Switch user account from Task Manager

Switch user account from Task Manager

If you don’t see another user account on this list, it’s because it didn’t sign in earlier to Windows 10. In this situation, you can right-click (or press and hold) on your user, choose Disconnect, and confirm your choice.

Disconnect from the current user account

Disconnect from the current user account

You then see the Lock screen. Click or tap on it, or press a key on your keyboard, and then choose the user you want to switch to.

TIP: If multiple people use your computer, and not everybody has their own user account, here’s how to create new Windows user accounts.

Applies ToWindows 11 Windows 10

Windows allows adding multiple user account to use the same device, enabling each user to have their own settings, documents, and applications.

For example, parents can have their own accounts with administrative privileges to manage settings and install software, while children can have standard accounts with parental controls enabled to monitor and limit their usage. This ensures that each family member has a personalized experience with their own files, settings, and appropriate access levels, while also keeping family members’ data private and secure from each other.

For personal and work or school use, having separate user accounts can help maintain a clear boundary between personal files and activities and those related to work or school. For instance, a user might have one account with personal emails, social media, and leisure applications, and another account with work or school emails, productivity software, and access to professional or educational resources. This separation not only helps in organizing and focusing on the task at hand but also adds an extra layer of security by keeping sensitive work or school data compartmentalized.

  1. In the Settings app  on your Windows device,​​​​​​​ select Accounts > Other user or use the following shortcut:

    Other Users

  2. Under Add other user, select Add account

  3. Enter the account information for this person to sign in:

    1. If the person you’re adding already has a Microsoft account, enter the email address

    2. If the person you’re adding doesn’t have a Microsoft account, you can use their email address to create one. Enter the email address that person uses most frequently and select Sign up for a new email address

    3. If you select the option I don’t have this person’s sign-in information, you can sign up for a new email address and create a new Microsoft account. If you want to create a local account, select the option Add a user without a Microsoft account

  4. Follow the instructions to finish setting up the account

Important: 

  • Microsoft recommends using a Microsoft account, not a local account, when signing in to Windows. Using a Microsoft account in Windows allows for seamless integration of Microsoft services, enhanced security, and sync across devices, unlike a local account.

  • Learn more about Microsoft accounts in Sign in with a Microsoft account.

If you are part of a family group, you can also add your family members to Windows from the Settings app  > Accounts > Family, or with the following shortcut:

Family

If you’re using the same Windows device for both personal and school or business work, you might want to connect the accounts to make it easier for you to access files, email, apps, and information associated with each account. When you connect your work or school account, you’ll be connected to your organization, and have access to its resources.

Note: to connect a work or school account, your organization must support personal devices, or bring your own device (BYOD) scenarios.

  1. In the Settings app  on your Windows device,​​​​​​​ select Accounts > Access work or school or use the following shortcut:

    Access work or school

  2. Next to Add a work or school account, select Connect

If needed, a user account can be configured as an administrator.

Important: you should limit the number of administrators on your Windows device because administrators have complete control over the system. Administrators can change settings, install software, and access all files. If too many people have this level of access, it could lead to security risks like malware installation or unwanted changes to your system. It’s safer to have fewer administrators and to use standard user accounts for day-to-day activities.

Managing multiple user accounts in Windows? Here are four easy ways to quickly switch between user accounts in Windows 10 and 11.

As with any operating system, Windows allows multiple user accounts. In fact, it is as easy as going through a user account creation wizard. In general, if you have multiple people using the computer, it is better to create separate user accounts for those users. That way, you don’t have to share your user account details. One of the biggest advantages of creating separate accounts is the separation of user files and programs.

Even if you are not sharing your PC with others, creating separate user accounts for different workflows makes your life that much easier. For example, I have two user accounts to separate personal and work profiles.

When managing multiple user accounts, it is common to switch between user accounts as and when needed.

Thankfully Windows has several different ways to switch users, and it is important to understand the options available to you and how to use them effectively.

Если одним компьютером либо ноутбуком пользуются несколько человек, то стоит задуматься о создании разных учетных записей пользователей. Это позволит разграничить рабочие пространства, так как у всех пользователей будут различные настройки, расположение файлов и т.д. В дальнейшем достаточно будет переключиться с одной учетной записи на другую. Именно о том, как это сделать в операционной системе Windows 10 мы и поведаем в рамках данной статьи.

Методы переключения между учетными записями в Windows 10

Достичь описанной цели можно несколькими разными способами. Все они простые, а конечный результат будет одинаковым в любом случае. Поэтому можете выбрать для себя наиболее удобный и пользоваться им в дальнейшем. Сразу отметим, что указанные способы можно применять как к локальным учетным записям, так и к профилям Microsoft.

Способ 1: При помощи меню «Пуск»

Начнем, пожалуй, с самого популярного метода. Для его использования вам нужно будет выполнить следующие действия:

  1. Найдите в левом нижнем углу рабочего стола кнопку с изображением логотипа «Windows». Нажмите на нее. Как вариант, можно использовать клавишу с таким же рисунком на клавиатуре.
  2. Нажимаем кнопку Пуск в Windows 10

  3. В левой части открывшегося окна вы увидите вертикальный перечень функций. В самом верху такого списка будет находиться изображение вашей учетной записи. Необходимо кликнуть на нее.
  4. Появится меню действий для данной учетной записи. В самом низу списка вы увидите другие имена пользователей с аватарами. Нажимаем ЛКМ на той записи, на которую необходимо переключиться.
  5. Сразу после этого появится окно входа в операционную систему. Тут же вам предложат войти в выбранную ранее учетную запись. Вводим при необходимости пароль (если он установлен) и жмем кнопку «Войти».
  6. Входим в выбранную ранее учетную запись на Windows 10

  7. Если вход от имени другого пользователя осуществляется впервые, тогда придется немного подождать, пока система произведет настройку. Это занимает буквально несколько минут. Достаточно дождаться, пока исчезнут уведомляющие надписи.
  8. Сообщение при первом входе на Windows 10

  9. Спустя некоторое время вы окажетесь на рабочем столе выбранной учетной записи. Обратите внимание, что настройки ОС будут возвращены в исходное состояние, для каждого нового профиля. В дальнейшем можно их изменить так, как вам нравится. Они сохраняются отдельно для каждого пользователя.

Если он по каким-то причинам вам не подходит, тогда можете ознакомиться с более простыми методами переключения профилей.

Способ 2: Комбинация клавиш «Alt+F4»

Этот метод более простой по сравнению с предыдущим. Но из-за того, что о различных комбинациях клавиш операционных систем Windows знают не все, он менее распространен среди пользователей. Вот как это выглядит на практике:

  1. Переключаемся на рабочий стол операционной системы и нажимаем одновременно клавиш «Alt» и «F4» на клавиатуре.
  2. Одновременно нажимаем клавиши Alt и F4 на Windows 10

    Обратите внимание, что эта же комбинация позволяет закрыть выбранное окно практически любой программы. Поэтому использовать ее необходимо именно на рабочем столе.

  3. На экране появится небольшое окно с выпадающим списком возможных действий. Открываем его и выбираем строчку под названием «Сменить пользователя».
  4. Выбираем строчку Сменить пользователя в Windows 10

  5. После этого нажимаем кнопку «OK» в этом же окошке.
  6. В результате вы окажетесь в начальном меню выбора пользователя. Список таковых будет находиться в левой части окна. Нажимаем ЛКМ на названии нужного профиля, после чего вводим пароль (при необходимости) и жмем кнопку «Войти».
  7. Выбираем учетную запись пользователя для входа в Windows 10

Через несколько секунд появится рабочий стол и можно будет приступать к использованию компьютера или ноутбука.

Способ 3: Комбинация клавиш «Windows+L»

Описываемый далее способ — самый простой из всех упомянутых. Дело в том, что он позволяет переключаться с одного профиля на другой без всяких выпадающих меню и прочих действий.

  1. На рабочем столе компьютера или ноутбука нажмите вместе клавиши «Windows» и «L».
  2. Нажимаем одновременно клавиши Win и L на Windows 10

  3. Эта комбинация позволяет моментально выйти из текущей учетной записи. В результате вы сразу же увидите окно входа и перечень доступных профилей. Как и в предыдущих случаях, выбираем нужную запись, вводим пароль и жмем кнопку «Войти».
  4. Выбираем нужный профиль из списка в Windows 10

Когда система загрузит выбранный профиль, появится рабочий стол. Это значит, что можно приступить к использованию устройства.

Обратите внимание на следующий факт: если вы завершите работу от имени пользователя, учетная запись которого не требует пароль, тогда при следующем включении ПК или перезагрузке система запустится автоматически от имени такого профиля. Но если же у вас установлен пароль, то вы увидите окно входа, в котором его нужно будет ввести. Тут же при необходимости можно и сменить саму учетную запись.

Вход в Windows 10 c паролем

Вот и все способы, о которых мы хотели вам поведать. Помните, что лишние и неиспользуемые профили можно в любой момент удалить. О том, как это сделать, мы рассказывали детально в отдельных статьях.
