How to Disable Fast User Switching on Windows 10.
Step 1: If you want to access Gpedit.msc to disable the Fast User Switching feature, you first need to open the Run dialog using the Windows + R key combination (there are also various other ways to open the Run dialog) -> then type 'gpedit.msc', confirm OK to proceed.
Step 2: In the Local Group Policy Editor - gpedit.msc, readers navigate in the following order: Computer Configuration >Administrative Templates >System >Logon.
Step 3: In the Logon folder, look to the right, and you will see a command file named Hide entry point for Fast User Switching, which is the item we need to manipulate. Double-click on it or right-click and select Edit.
Step 4: Here, if you want to disable the Fast User Switching feature, choose Enabled and then click Apply > OK. If you don't want to disable Fast User Switching, select Disabled.
Step 5: Now, simply close Gpedit and then open the Start Menu on the screen. You will notice that the Fast User Switching icon is no longer there. Compare it with the first image in the article to see the difference.
With just a few basic steps in Gpedit.msc, we can successfully disable the Fast User Switching feature. Whether to turn it off or on is entirely up to you, and rest assured, it won't affect the operating system.
We would like to note for those using Windows 10 Home Edition that you cannot access Gpedit normally as it is locked. Therefore, you need to proceed to enable Group Policy Editor on Windows 10 Home Edition you are using. Otherwise, choose and install a different operating system.
