If it ain't broke... Windows update makes signing out simple again

Microsoft recently rolled out a few tweaks to the Windows 11 Start menu, and while some were aimed at streamlining the experience, one change stirred up quite a response. In a bid to organize settings, Microsoft had grouped certain options, like the Sign Out button, under a three-dot menu—making it a bit harder to find. Many users found this confusing, particularly those frequently switching between profiles on shared devices.

Listening to user feedback, Microsoft is now testing an update that restores the Sign Out button to its previous, more visible location, easing the process of logging out or switching profiles. This small adjustment is a huge benefit for teams that rely on multiple accounts on one device, making transitions smoother and reducing the time spent navigating menus.

This tweak is part of a broader Windows 11 update currently in testing, which includes a couple of other handy features. Soon, users will have media controls directly accessible from the lock screen, allowing easier management of music and videos without needing to unlock the device. Additionally, the update will add an option to share files straight from search results—ideal for quick sharing and collaboration.

While each of these changes may seem small, together they contribute to a more intuitive and efficient workflow, especially for teams and organizations.
