I guess I should download the RTM and see what happens. |

| The problem is caused by a bug in Windows. Apparently due to it's recently acquired propensity to automatically log in to an account with no password. The workaround is simple. Instead of "Switch users", use "Lock". It normally does the same thing, but in this case, it gets aroun... |

| I posted the Alt-F4 thing on the insider forum. I was then asked to report this to Microsoft using the feedback app, and I did that too. |

| What about Win+L (or Lock command from Classic Shell) which Locks the PC? It also lists the user accounts now on the screen and doesn't seem to log on user accounts without a password automatically. Yes, that works even with users with no password. Again, it takes me to the initial date and time sc... |

| Also, there is a new annoying (and in my opinion) incorrect behavior introduced with Windows 8. The OS automatically logs in to any user account which does not have a password set. Actually build 162 doesn't usually do that. When using Microsoft's shell, and I click on another user, it gives the lo... |

| Classic Shell's Start Menu calls the Windows operating system's "Switch user" function. It does not do the switching itself. To understand this, temporarily exit Classic Shell's Start Menu by right clicking the button and choosing Exit. Now click once on the Desktop (or any icon on the De... |

| When switching users with Microsoft's shell, it gives me the logon screen with the account pre-selected that I clicked on to initiate the switch. When using ClassicShell and I'm logged on to my password protected admin account, "Switch users" gives me the initial screen showing the date an... |

| But user switching works okay when I'm using Microsoft's shell. It only fails when using ClassicShell. Note that Microsoft's shell doesn't have a "switch user" per se. Instead you click on the account you want to switch to. In case it matters, my non-admin account doesn't have a password. ... |

| I'm using 4.2.2 on Windows 10162. It looks good except for one thing. When I'm logged on to my non-admin account, "Switch user" doesn't work. The screen clears and then goes back to my non-admin account. To get to my admin account, I need to log off. The "Switch user" works right... |

Thanks.
Blessed relief!
Oh, let me thank you for ClassicShell. It almost turns this sow's ear into a silk purse. So far though I still prefer Win7 for most things. |

| I will see if I can find IE11 to try. Are you using the WYSIWYG editor in the forum? Actually, a screenshot of the problem will be helpful. IE11 came with my Win8.1 preview. I'm just trying to edit my reply with the forum built-in editor. Now I see the problem occurs when I hit RETURN. That is when... |

| I put a shortcut to cmd.exe on the Classic Shell start menu. I set the "start in", but it has no effect. It always starts in C:\Windows\system32. By the way, I'm having difficulty writing this with IE11. Whenever I do a left click here, I get some shaded box around the text. So I don't kno... |
