Is there a way to sign out and login as another user using Windows authentication? [ASP.NET Core 3.1 MVC]

Question

I am making an intranet web application for internal use using ASP.NET Core 3.1 MVC that's using Windows authentication and working on a logout/login page. I am trying to include a function that allows user to logout and sign in as another user.

I inserted this script in _Layout.cshtml but the @User.Identity.Name still shows the original name on the web page, indicating that I haven't logged out and I can still access the pages with [Authorize] attribute, is there another way to logout user?

Also, is there an ASP.NET Core 3.1 version of this answer ? When I try to insert this as a function into the controller, errors appear saying HttpCookie , Request.IsAuthenticated , Response.Cookies.Set(cookie) and functions alike are undefined. Am I missing a NuGet package or library here? Do I have to logout the user to use this "sign in as another user" function?

Thanks in advance.

  {
   await signInManager.SignOutAsync();
 
  foreach (var cookie in HttpContext.Request.Cookies)
    {
       Response.Cookies.Delete(cookie.Key);
    }

   ProcessStartInfo pro = new ProcessStartInfo();
   pro.FileName = "cmd.exe";
   pro.Arguments = "klist purge";
   Process proStart = new Process();
   proStart.StartInfo = pro;
   proStart.Start();
   proStart.Close();
   return View();
