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
I am experiencing the same scenario with 0.99 build. Hopefully fixed real soon.
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.
Hopefully this will be fixed soon. I use this feature all the time.
this resolved my issue, hope it helps someone.
