If you have multiple user accounts, you can change users in many different ways. Here're the steps to change user in Windows 10.

Windows 10 makes it really easy to produce multiple user accounts. For those who have multiple people while using computer, it is better to produce separate user accounts for those users. This way, it's not necessary to share your user account details. Even if you're not sharing the PC, you may create user accounts to split up personal and work files. For instance, I have two user accounts within my system for private and work profiles. One of the biggest advantages of creating separate accounts is the separation of user files and programs.

For those who have multiple users accounts for yourself, it's pretty present with switch between them whenever needed. Thankfully, Windows 10 has lots of new ways to switch user in Windows 10.

In this quick guide, let me show the methods to alter users in Windows 10.

How you can switch user from Start menu

The start menu in Windows 10 enables fast user switching by displaying all of the user accounts underneath the User icon. This is how you can switch users from the start menu.

Open the Start menu. You can do that by hitting the beginning icon on the taskbar.
Click on the user icon on the left panel.
Select the user account from the flyout menu.
Once you click the user account, Windows 10 will switch user based on your selection.
If the account is password-protected, you need to authenticate to access the user account.

How you can switch user from lock screen

You can also switch between users from the lock screen. This is probably the most common methods to change users in Windows 10. Here are the steps to follow along with.

First, lock Windows with the "Win + L" key shortcut.
On the lock screen, you will notice you at the base left corner.
Click the user you want to change to.
Type the password or pin to log in to the user account.

That's all. It's that easy.

Switch user from Ctrl + Alt + Del screen

The Ctrl + Alt + Del is really a universal savior when Windows isn't responding. In the same Ctrl + Alt + Del menu, you can switch users. This particularly helpful when the system is acting strangely or unresponsive.

To start off, press the "Ctrl + Alt + Del" keyboard shortcut.
Now, click the "Switch user" option.
As soon as you click on the option, you will be taken to the login screen.
Here, select the user you need to change to.
Enter the password or pin to log in to the user account.

Change user from Alt + F4 menu

This is among the lesser-known ways however, you may also alter the user in the Alt + F4 window.

First, minimize all open Windows.
While you are well on the desktop, press "Alt + F4".
Now, select "Switch user" in the dropdown menu.
Click the "Ok" button.

As soon as you read the action, Windows will give you towards the login screen where one can choose the user you need to change to.

Note: When the desktop isn't in active focus then the Alt + F4 might close the application that is already in focus. You can keep desktop in active focus by simply clicking on your desktop.
