Windows has got a wonderful feature to switch between user accounts not only from the login screen but also when you are logged in. Isn’t it a fantastic feature as you can keep two user accounts singed-in at the same time without actually losing any of the accounts data while using the particular account? At the same time it is real life and time saver since you don’t have to waste your valuable time logging in and out over and over again to access both the accounts.

The cause of this issue is said to be some sort of modulation overlapping failure in the wireless frequency while connection is set up, but is not fully understood to the core.

Pre-requisite to Switch Multiple User Accounts on Windows 10/8/7

Switching between multiple registered accounts is not that an arduous job, but there is one requirement that needs to be there before you switch users. All your multiple accounts need to be active. But if you are using only single user account in your Windows PC, then this feature is of no use to you.

Why Switching User Accounts is Helpful?

Why switching user accounts is helpful is a very obvious question that might strike your mind if you are reading this article. Let me give you an example, suppose, you are currently working on a word document, and suddenly your friend steps in and demands to use your computer. Of course, he would need to access his belongings via a different account, and in order to let him use it, you first have to log out. But that would simply delete all your current operations.

Rather if you simply switch between yours and his account, then without losing any of your current data you are working or operating will not be lost. And you can gain back access to your previously operational account in the same status as you left before a while ago. Besides, a lot of your precious time gets saved in the meantime.
