    Is there a way to directly switch user on Win10 by using fingerprint?


    Using the fingerprint reader on my ThinkPad, Can we directly switch user account on win10 pro without log off user, by just put finger on the reader? (Windows Hello activated)

    Welcome to TenForums!

    None that I am aware of, but this is the next closest thing that I can think of:

    Simply press the Windows Key + L. This will take you to the lock screen and from there you should be able to logon another user with the fingerprint reader.

    So you can get where you want simply by pressing 2 keys.

    Does that help?
