Well... this seems to be a simple problem but I see no way to fix it.

When I leave my computer I usually Push WinKey + L to go back to the Welcome screen while not logging off so no one can get on it.

However, lately instead of doing the "Fast User Switch" like it did before, it's "locking" the computer.

In User Accounts both "Use the Welcome screen" and "Enable Fast User Switching" are turned on, so there's really no reason it should be doing this.

Practically it doesn't matter a whole lot cuz either way it needs my password to get back on, but I have a very nicely skinned Welcome screen that I like to see in between sessions on the computer.

It seems to be consistent though, as it does it after re-boots too.

Help plz?

Nevermind... haha.. I figured it out. When clearing out some older files I deleted the logon screen file that I was using. Now it's back to normal.
