    Hello everyone.

    Small issue but big bloody inconvenience.

    Whenever a guest user switches from my main profile on the lock screen to my other account/ guest user I am then unable to log back in to the main profile after they have finished.

    This is giving me a real headache as I'm then forced to shut down or restart to regain access.

    Can anyone help?

    The screen flickers black when I try to re-enter but then brings me back to the account selection.
    I'm running Windows 7.

    Well, that's definitely not normal... I have never seen this issue before but I would guess that the best option is to reinstall the O.S or run AlienRespawn.
