 * I use this excellent plugin on several sites and find it very helpful. On one
   site the switch back/switch off links don’t show in the Howdy profile menu and
   the switch back link doesn’t appear elsewhere I’m used to seeing it such as on
   the front end somewhere on the page or in the admin. I have to log out and log
   back in to return to my original user. I can’t trace this and wonder if there’s
   a known conflict or issue someone can point me in the direction of.
 * Thanks.

 * It sounds like something might be clearing the cookies from User Switching when
   you switch, or preventing them from being set, or otherwise messing around with
   the authentication mechanism.
 * I’d start by deactivating your other plugins one by one to see if you can find
   the culprit.
 * Good luck!

 * Thanks John, cookies were the issue. Appreciate the direction.
