How can I switch my signed in user in Visual Studio 2013?

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:

  1. Close Visual Studio
  2. Start the Developer Command prompt installed with Visual Studio as an administrator.
  3. type ‘devenv /resetuserdata’ (‘wdexpress /resetuserdata’ for Express SKUs)
  4. Start Visual Studio Normally.

Worked for me.
