Brings what you copied with you when you switch accounts, and moves the options into a new Settings window.
Highlights
- Bring your clipboard. Copy something, switch, then paste it in the other account. Text, formatted text and pictures come along, up to 32 MB. Copied files and anything an app marked private, such as a password from a password manager, stay behind
- Choose Bring my clipboard every time I switch, or Give each account a clipboard shortcut to add a second shortcut per account in a new Switch and bring clipboard column
- Switching never waits for the clipboard. It follows a moment after the other account's desktop appears
- The clipboard only travels between User Switcher copies on this computer, and only to an account that has yours in its list. A switch that fails or is cancelled sends nothing
- A new Settings window, opened from the cog in the User Switcher window or at the top of the switcher, holds Startup, Appearance and Clipboard. Changes apply straight away
- The User Switcher window keeps every column and button visible when it is made small
Requirements
- Windows 10 version 1809 or later (build 17763)
- 64-bit (win-x64) self-contained executable
- An administrator account for switching
- To bring the clipboard, User Switcher running in the other account, with this account in its list
Notes
Installed copies of 1.0.2 update from the tray as usual. Copies of 1.0.0 and 1.0.1 trust the previous signing key and cannot verify this update. To move them to 1.0.3:
- Download
UserSwitcher.exefrom this page. - Choose Exit on the User Switcher tray icon in the account you are signed in to.
- Run the downloaded file and choose Install User Switcher.
Your settings and saved accounts are kept, and copies running in other accounts restart on the new version by themselves.
This release is distributed as an unsigned executable. Verify the published SHA-256 checksum before running. Update trust comes from the separately signed stable manifest, not Authenticode on the executable.
