Setting up a Guest account

Question

Hi, I have set up a guest account for my PC (Windows 11) but when I turn on the PC it does not show the guest log in, only my regular log in. Any suggestions? Many thanks.

Answer 1

Hello, this is Emily.

It can be due to the guest account being disabled.

If you hold down Windows + R keys, type in netplwiz and press enter. When it is launched, do you see the guest user listed?

If not, type cmd in the search, make sure you select "Run as administrator" to launch Command Prompt, then run the command:

net user guest /active:yes

This should enable guest user then.

Answer 2

Hello, I've had the same 'problem' and performed the suggested actions and it appears like the Guest account is now on the list on User Accounts. But I can't see it when launching the PC - it still shows me all accounts except the Guest one.

Thanks,

Roy

How do I get guest mode

Answer 5

you can create a local account on each computer: Settings>Accounts> Other users>Add account> click on "I don't have this person's sign in information">click on "add a user without a Microsoft account". Give the user a name (avoid Guest or Local) and create a password.
