Hello,
Previous behaviour in Windows 7: I could leave an internet radio station playing on VLC for example and allow my partner to switch to her account we could still hear the audio playing.
I am aware that switching users in Windows 8.1 required me to apply the registry hack available in the tutorials.
Since MS might not have wanted to give us the opportunity to switch user as a default - making us sign out every time - it made me wonder if this is the reason the audio switches off.
But then again I can still leave a download running in my account and switch user and then when I return to my account the download has completed, so clearly activity is still occurring on the other account.
Any ideas how I can keep the audio going without having to run a new instance of a player in the switched account to continue listening?
Best wishes.
