Windows 10: Disabling a Guest account that was created through the Set up School PCs app

Hello, I would like to disable a guest account that I created via the Let guests sign in to these PCs option in Set up School PCs, I tried the OMA-URI - Accounts_EnableGuestAccountStatus option, unfortunately it didn't work. I found this article on the forum: https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/all/how-to-remove-guest-account-from-provisioned-pc/313ccdc9-4aa7-4a74-b7e9-e6bcf64f2ad7 but it doesn't answer my question either.Have you ever encountered this problem or do you know the solution?Thank you.

How to remove guest account from provisioned PC

Using "Set up School PCs"-app I don't get the alternative to set Guest account to not active. This means that our PCs provisioned with "Set up School PCs" gets a Guest (or Gjest in Norwegian) account. I am unable to remove/hide this account on the login
screen. How can this be done?

I've tried the following without success:

• Net user Gjest /active:no (while Administrator)
• Net user Guest /active:no (while Admin)
• netplwiz and disabling the guest account
• using gpedit.msc to disable account

The guest account actually reads as "disabled" - but it still shows up when I go to login screen in Windows 10.

I was thinking of using regedit to remove the account - however, I cant understand which string to delete and I am not even certain this will work. Which account should I remove?

• (Standard)
• Default
• ProfilesDirectory
• Programdata
• Public

Are there any other good ways to remove Guest (Gjest in Norwegian) account?

Please follow the steps mentioned below to create the account:

1. Press Windows key + R, to open
   Run dialog box.
   
2. Type netplwiz and click on
   OK.
   
3. Click on Add and follow the on-screen instructions to create a new user account.
   
4. Now, double click on the newly created user account and click on
   Group Membership.
   
5. Click on the radio button for others and select
   Guest from the drop down list.
   
6. Click on Apply and OK.
