    How to boot to login screen rather than account?


    I've built a new PC last week, and installed Windows 10 to it (upgraded from a legitimate 7). Now I've made several accounts for me and someone else (work, play etc) and now I have an issue logging in.

    Whenever I (re)boot the PC, it boots straight into the last used account rather than to the login screen. Is there anywhere I can adjust this? Navigating through the settings has gotten a lot less straightforward after 7.
    Any help appreciated.

    Got it. Set my lock screen to Picture rather than Spotlight, not sure if it's a bug but it works for me now.
