Windows 10 offers multiple ways to switch users. Your option may depend on what's fastest for you and whether you want to switch from the lock screen or the desktop.

The sign-in screen lists all users who can sign in to the computer. Select a user in the lower-left corner of the screen, and then enter the credentials to sign in to Windows 10. This switches user accounts without signing out the previously signed-in user.

Another easy way to switch users on Windows 10 is directly from the Start menu. Select the Start menu and then choose your username at the top of the left column. You’ll see a list of other user accounts; select one to return to the lock screen where you can enter that user’s credentials.

Task Manager includes an option to switch to another user instantly, bypassing the lock screen entirely.
