How To Turn Off Fast User Switching On Windows 10

 Fast User Switching can be straightforward, but also comes with drawbacks. Here’s how to turn off fast user switching on all models of Windows, if you want to.


Fast User Switching enables users to sign into a PC while other users are still signed in. However, it offers the obvious benefits of not forcing other users to sign out before signing in using your own account. Also, it has some cons. Whenever other users are signed in, Windows is using additional resources on them—especially while left background services active or resource-intensive apps. However, if other users are signed in, you can’t restart or shut down the computer without having them sign out or risk losing your open files they haven’t saved. If you do have several users on your computer and you’d not have Fast User Switching available. Also, make an instant quick edit to the Local Group Policy Editor or Windows Registry.
