If you read the Microsoft help documentation, you may think that Windows 11 keeps one lock screen for all users, but it doesn’t. Instead, it has a lock screen for each individual user and another lock screen for the system as a whole.

If you’re using the system and you lock it — say, tap your picture on the Start menu and choose Lock — Windows 11 shows your personal lock screen, with the settings and data you’ve chosen. If you swipe up or click, you’re asked to provide your PIN or password. There’s no intervening step to ask which user should log in.

If, instead of locking the system when you leave it, you tap your picture and choose Sign Out, Windows 11 behaves differently. It shows the system’s lock screen, with the system’s settings. Your lock screen and data are nowhere to be seen. If you drag or swipe to go through the lock screen, you’re asked to choose which user will log in.

Bottom line: If you change your lock screen using the techniques in this chapter, you change only your lock screen. Windows’ idea of a lock screen stays the same.

Test to make sure that your personal lock screen has been updated. The easiest way is to go to the Start menu, click or tap your picture in the bottom-left corner, and choose Lock or Sign Out.
