    Open the control panels.
    go into Users and Accounts.
    Make sure fast user switching is ENABLED.

    yeah that's fine.
    offline files is not necessary on a home machine.

    Offline files is for whenyou're on a network and you have files on a central server. It allows you to work on the files when you're not connected to the network. Then when you do reconnect to the network, it sychronizes your local files with the ones on the server.
