Switch User option logging off current logged in account

[ashjeaton]

Dear Edugeek,

 

Fast user switching seems to be disabled on some but not all of our newly built 1903 domain joined machines.

 

Using the switch user option in Start Menu just logs off the current user. There is also no switch user option in ctrl + alt + delete prompt.

 

I have checked for HideFastUserSwitching in regedit keys and it doesn't exist. There is no GPO that could explain this that I can see.

 

What am I missing? Is there a regedit to force it back on?

 

Thanks for the help!

Looks like Microsoft have removed support for this feature on older CPUs? All our machines that are affected seem to be using Athlon and Athlon X2 processors.

It was RAM all along. Anything lower than 3GB logs the user off when switching or prompts you at logon "This user needs to sign out before another user can use the PC."
