Turning on Guest User on Windows 10

This is as close as you are likely to get to the Guest a/c of old, and it's worked for me on several Win 10 devices:-

Firstly, open an elevated command prompt by going to Start menu/All Programs/Windows System, right-click Command Prompt, select More, select Run as administrator, then;

• Enter "net user Visitor /add /active:yes" (ignore quotes) to create a new account. You can replace “Visitor” with whatever name you wish, but be sure to change it for every command on this list. “Guest” is reserved by the Windows system.
• Enter "net user Visitor *" (ignore quotes) to create a password for the account.
• Press Enter key twice to create a blank password.
• Enter "net localgroup users Visitor /delete" (ignore quotes) to remove Visitor from the regular Users group.
• Enter "net localgroup guests Visitor /add" (ignore quotes) to add Visitor to the guests user group.

You now you have a brand new "guest" account! This account will have the same privileges as the old guest accounts, but, I am told, that it does not wipe settings and local files on logout.
