I have created Windows 10 machine in Azure.
I then created couple of local users on this machine.
I can now RDP to this machine via any of these locally created users.

Now, I need a way to switch profiles on this windows 10 machine, but when i click on "Lock" to lock screen, I do not see an option to login as another user profile.

this is the experience that i currently have

and here is the screenshot of the experience am looking for

    Desktop versions of windows do not support multiple simultaneous logons. To do this with RDP the other user would be signaled to disconnect to allow the new session. So I think you'll just need to log off current user, then logon as other user.
