    This behaviour is a 'feature' of Windows 10 due to poor software design & testing. Switching between accounts causes this icons to rearrange rendering the switching function useless. I find the icons stay put provided you log out of an account first before logging in to the other account.

    No, it is a bug which has been fixed.

    That is all.
