I have Windows 10 Enterprise 1903 and I don't have any option to switch user. I manually have to execute tsdiscon.exe which is far from conveninant.
How to show the "Switch user" option in the start menu?
What is bizarre is that I do no have any Switch User option from any menu:

- Click "Start".
- Click upper icon (grey silhouette) in the left column.
- The menu is opened, and its lower part shows all users available to switch to.
If this icon is not visible, then:
- Open registry editor REGEDIT.EXE
- Navigate
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System. - Edit
HideFastUserSwitchingparameter and set its value to0.
If your computer is part of a domain, the domain administrator might have disabled this option via GPO rule. You should in this case ask the administrator to undo this setting.
For the non-domain case:
Microsoft has stashed this option away so the previous method described in the other answer does not work anymore.
These methods still work (for the moment):
Switch user via the Shut Down Windows dialog
Open the Shut Down Windows dialog byAlt+F4and select "Switch user" in the list and hit OK.
Switch user via Ctrl+Alt+Del
Press Ctrl+Alt+Deland select "Switch user" in the options.
Both methods will bring you to the login screen to select the user to switch to.
