I recently fired up my Windows 11 PC, and it skips the lock screen where you usually select your user. Instead, it directly logs me into a non-admin account. When I try to access the lock screen, it just boots me back to the same user. Worse, I don't see any other accounts listed, just my local non-admin one. Any tips on how to change this?

It sounds like your system is set to auto-login, which could be why you're not seeing the lock screen. Check your user account settings in the Settings app under "Accounts". If there are any settings for automatic login, try disabling them to see if it allows you to select the user at startup. Also, make sure your other accounts still exist in the system; you can check that from the Accounts section too.
To log into your local account, try restarting your computer and pressing the Shift key while you click on the Restart option. This should bring you to the recovery menu where you can choose to troubleshoot and potentially access other accounts if you've set them up before. However, if your system's not recognizing any other accounts, you might need to use a recovery drive to reset your settings without losing data.
