    Hi,

    I'm looking for a means of invoking Fast User Switching on Windows 8.1 to automatically switch to a different user on startup. The same functionality as going to the Start Screen, clicking on your User and clicking on the new User you want signed in.

    I've been doing this with a AutoHotKey script on startup but it has been touch and go at best.

    Is there a command line alternative that I could try that might be more effective?

    Any info or suggestions would be appreciated! Thanks

    I've modified the AutoHotKey script to use Keyboard inputs rather than Mouse inputs and it seems to work more reliably.

    It would still be interesting to find out if there is a different way of doing this?
