How can I switch my signed in user in Visual Studio 2013?
I was able to fix this by: 1) Sign in as the old user. 2) Sign out. 3) Sign in as new user.
In my case, it appears that it wanted to verify my license on the old account first, before it would let me switch to a new one.
I resolved this problem by deleting the registry key under
hkey_current_user\software\Microsoft\VSCommon\12.0\clientservices\tokenstorage\visualstudio\ideuser
There is a comment about this under this answer, but I think it's important to list it here. If you want to preserve your settings, export them first because they will be lost.
From MSDN forums - since I had to hunt around far too much to find the solution to this:
- Close Visual Studio
- Start the Developer Command prompt installed with Visual Studio as an administrator.
- type 'devenv /resetuserdata' ('wdexpress /resetuserdata' for Express SKUs)
- Start Visual Studio Normally.
Worked for me.
