Now I have to look for 3 dots and click and click more to do what I could in a couple clicks???

What POSSIBLE reason would that help anyone that uses more than one account?

WHY do I need to see my user account info instead of options to sign out or switch accounts???

WHY????? You guys keep breaking stuff like this!!! Taking what WAS working PERFECTLY FINE AS IT WAS, and make it take MORE EFFORT AND HIDE IT and make it more complicated!!!

Its DUMB.

Please STOP breaking what was not broken!

    Am I the only one with an issue with this change??

    They even removed the option to lock from the menu.... (just noticed that too)

    Ugh!

    Can anyone explain why this change is an improvement? Because I can't.

    And I will have to reinstall the feedback tool, as I had removed it.

    How it used to be: (from a different PC to get a screen shot)

    How it is now: (this changed like this week)

    Image

    "Lock" has been moved to the power button icon.

    It's no good ranting here. we are users like yourself.

    If you want to contact Microsoft dev team then use the Feedback Hub in windows and explain what the problem is.

    I see you are an Insider. Is the second screenshot from an Insider build?

    If it is then you need to be reporting using the Feedback Hub and using the Insider forum for any queries.

    Results in Windows Insider Program - Microsoft Community

    My public release is as your first screenshot. I'll switch to my Insider build to check what I have. If you are using an insider build what is the full build and which channel are you using.?

    I couldn't really say if it's better or worse. I don't use them on a regular basis.

    Lock is available on Start from the current user icon.

    Change user is the same.

    What 3 dots are you referring to?
