Chris,
Thanks for the reply.
I read through the linked article, which as best as I can tell is talking
about remoting into another machine. What stood out to me - is you said :

"I believe your process is being interrupted because the user that
initiated the process is now logged out."

I am only going to the top right of the computer screen and hitting "switch
user account"  that is not considered a full log-out is it?

In my below scenario both user accounts (user a and user b) are active and
logged in.


So it seems that while I am in user b (while user a is still logged in (as
can be seen by the user drop down in the top right with the check boxes
next to the names), somehow xpressers vision is blinded until I switch back
to that user a.
