Microsoft has replace the WinKey+L with Lock Computer. I try to disable the
network and change network relationship from workgroup to domain in respect
to bring the Switch User screen by press WinKey+L but no success.
I "Google" on this but found that WinKey+L is the shortcut to Lock Computer.
But the good news is: press WinKey+L then ALT+W to bring the Switch User
screen. Navigate between users through Arrow Keys.
Hope this is what Microsoft has to say about Switch User. Let us know!
