Fast User Switching stopped working
hi,
I think the Fast user switching feature has been stopped working in my PC. There are 3 user accounts in my PC. When I am logged-on in one user and try to switch user, it doesn't really switch to different user but just returns the welcome screen.
Infact, for logging on another user, I need to logoff current user. Why is fast user switching feature not working ? What I have to do to get fast user switching working back ?
Re: Fast User Switching stopped working
To resolve the problem and restore Fast User Switching, you will need to reset the GinaDLL entry. Follow these steps:
- Click Start --- select Run --- type REGEDIT
- Navigate to the following key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SOFTWARE \ Microsoft \ Windows NT \ CurrentVersion \ Winlogon
- Backup the key by exporting to a file.
- In the right pane, right-click GinaDLL --- click Delete.
- Note - You need to remove the whole value, not just its Value Data
- Close Registry Editor

Check whether this helps to solve your problem.....
- Start > Run > type regedt32 > press Enter.
- Navigate to this key:
- System Key:[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon]
- Value Name: AllowMultipleTSSessions
- Data Type: REG_DWORD (DWORD Value)
- Value Data: (0 = Disable Fast User Switching, 1= Enable)
- In the right hand pane, right click AllowMultipleTSSessions > select Modify > change the Value to 1
Note: Modifying Registry can be dangerous, so rightclick on winlogon and select export to save a backup.

This feature may have been disabled in your PC
You will need to check whether Welcome Screen & Fast User Switching is Enabled from Control Panel
do this,
| Control Panel | >> | User Accounts | >> |Change the way users log on and off | >> | Enable Welcome Screen & Fast User Switching|
