Since I upgraded to Fedora 33 to 34, the “Switch user” and “New session” buttons disappeared. But nothing appears on my lock screen, hence others are unable to start a new session without logout current session. The problem happens on Fedora 34 with all updates. Can you please guide me in finding…

Thanks, For Reference: 1929643 – logout after switch returns the user to console instead of sddm Workaround here: Re: F34 - what happened to Switch User? — Fedora KDE Please note the warning in the workaround.

Are you utilizing gnome or another desktop environment? If you are using gnome have you disabled all the extensions? If you create a new user does the same thing occur? Thanks

Hint from Re: F34 - what happened to Switch User? — Fedora KDE is good If you wish to enable it again (at your own risk!), you may do so by adding the following to “~/.config/kdeglobals”: [KDE Action Restrictions] action/start_new_session=true action/switch_user=true Thanks!
