How to create a Guest account?

Hi,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



Please reply with the following details to assist you with the appropriate troubleshooting steps:

• What is the complete error message you receive?
  
• Which edition of Windows 10 are you using i.e. Windows 10 Home/Pro?
  

Ideally, if you are using Windows 10 Pro, you can create a Standard account and then, you can change the Group permissions as a Guest for that particular Standard account. The permissions for the Standard user account will be same as for the Guest
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.
   

Please reply with the status of the issue, we will be glad to help you further.

Guest User Restriction

Hello.

The problem was not to create a Guest user account. Yet I created an account by the steps mentioned in that guide.

Problem is how the guest/visitor user is able to revoke the restrictions that were put by the administrator account.


I removed all access to the drive for that particular guest user from my admin account. I switch to guest user and its locked. But then without any authentication I am able to change the security settings.

Should this happen? Then how to restrict access to folder/drives for other users?

 

Set up guest user

Hi, I am Van. I'll be glad to assist you today.

To create a guest user account, kindly follow the steps below.

1. Press Windows key + r then type netplwiz then press enter.

2. In the User account window, make sure that the "User must enter a user name and password to use this computer" is checked.

3. Click the Add button, this will open the user account creation Window.

4. Click the "Sign in without a Microsoft account" link, then select Local account.

5. Create the user name and password then click next then click Finish.

6. In the user account list, highlight the newly created account then click properties.

7. Go to the Group Membership tab, select others then click the drop-down menu then select the Guest group.

8. Click Apply then Ok.

Note: When creating the name of the user account. You will not be able to use the "Guest" as the preferred name of the user. Because the "Guest" name is reserved in the system.

Best regards,

Van
