Hi, Georgia,

This could be a limitation of the fast user switching feature.

The fast user switching feature may not work if there is insufficient computer resources to create a new Winlogon service thread. When there is insufficient resources, the system may stop responding (hang), the system may lock up computer or the user may receive a Userinit.exe error application and the following error message:

The application failed to initialize properly (0xc000012d)

Method 1: In these cases, some users must log on to the computer, or you must close some programs to free up the resources of the computer.

For more information, see:

A discussion on the availability of the fast user switching feature

This problem may also occur due to registry settings incorrect shell.

Method 2: Try the steps listed here.

Important: This section, method, or task contains steps that tell you how to modify the registry. However, serious problems can occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Therefore, make sure that you proceed with caution. For added protection, back up the registry before you edit it. Then you can restore the registry if a problem occurs.

Note The %windir%\System32 placeholder represents the path of the Windows folder. By default, C:\WINDOWS is the path of the Windows folder.
