Switch Windows users with a simple keyboard shortcut |
November 02, 2012
Earlier this year I wrote about a handy freeware utility called Fast User Switch.
True to its name, the tool immediately takes you to the user-selection screen, thus saving you from the standard user-switching process of clicking Start, then the arrow next to Shut Down, and then Switch user.
At the time I bemoaned the lack of a keyboard shortcut for this option, but it turns out there is one—sort of.
As reader Noah and a few others pointed out, you can accomplish much the same thing by pressing Windows-L (i.e. hold down the Windows key and tap L). That actually takes you to the Lock screen, where you can then click Switch Users. (This works in Windows 8 as well.)
