    Win10 PasswordRequired doesn't work on new Guest LID


    Using this post:
    https://www.tenforums.com/tutorials/4...dows-10-a.html
    I created a Guest LID (logon ID) in APR (called it GuestX).

    However, a few months ago, it demanded I enter a password. At that
    time, as a temporary circumvention, I just used CP/User Accounts to
    assign one, even tho I knew it wasn't what I wanted. I was working on
    other problems.

    But, last week, when I tried to logon to it, it said 'password
    expired'??? I have never seen this in Win7.

    I changed these 3 for my new GuestX LID w/wmic:
    PasswordExpires
    PasswordChangeable
    PasswordRequired
    to False, to match what Win7 has. Specifically, for this problem, the
    last one, yet, I still can't logon to it w/o having to enter a
    password?

    In Win7, wmic shows this:
    AccountType=512
    Description=Built-in account for guest access to the computer/domain
    Disabled=FALSE
    Domain=aaa
    FullName=
    InstallDate=
    LocalAccount=TRUE
    Lockout=FALSE
    Name=Guest
    PasswordChangeable=FALSE
    PasswordExpires=FALSE
    PasswordRequired=FALSE
    SID=bbb
    SIDType=1
    Status=OK

    In Win10, it(they) show the same thing:
    AccountType=512
    Description=Built-in account for guest access to the computer/domain
    Disabled=FALSE
    Domain=ccc
    FullName=
    InstallDate=
    LocalAccount=TRUE
    Lockout=FALSE
    Name=Guest
    PasswordChangeable=FALSE
    PasswordExpires=FALSE
    PasswordRequired=FALSE
    SID=ddd
    SIDType=1
    Status=OK
    AccountType=512
    Description=
    Disabled=FALSE
    Domain=eee
    FullName=
    InstallDate=
    LocalAccount=TRUE
    Lockout=FALSE
    Name=GuestX
    PasswordChangeable=FALSE
    PasswordExpires=FALSE
    PasswordRequired=FALSE
    SID=fff
    SIDType=1
    Status=OK

    so why must I enter a password? Even CP/User Accounts says it is
    'Password Protected' in the icon area for it.

    Is there something else I have to do to make this work like it does
    in Win7?

    I ended up deleting and re-creating it per that post, then changed
    the 3 in the new LID manually (which I did NOT do the first time).
    Now, it went back to operating like when I first did this (no
    password required, just the 'sign in' button).

    So, perhaps I did something wrong the first time, or, more than
    likely, this will become problem#46 w/Win10 over Win7. I guess time
    will tell.

    Unfortunately, I had to re-do many settings (IE,Tbird,etc) as I
    can't trust it doing it.

    If anyone has a permanent resolution, I'd appreciate it. Thankx...

    :)

  2. If I enable the Hidden Admin Account in Win10 might I be able to regain access to my Win8 Guest account?

    I read some articles online that talked about the Guest Account and an Admin Account that are hidden in Win10 and how to type in a command prompt and make them appear. It was a useless effort. The answer is, if you need access to your Win8 Guest account,
    uninstall Win10. I wasted an entire day on hold with Microsoft Help and there is no other solution. Undo the upgrade, then back up everything, maybe create a new account, and if you can figure out what the heck all the "sharing" **** in Win8 was about that
    I bet if you had the same problems I'm having you didn't understand and never used, you can share everything in your Guest account with the new account. Give the new account a password. Now, upgrade to Win10 again, and be sure to look for anything that asks
    if you want to keep all your accounts. I can't imagine why they ask that. Who on earth doesn't want everything they had in the past to come forward? Stupid. And if that doesn't work, at least you'll have the back ups you made.

  3. After installing Win10 1709 on host OS, Hyper V VM viewer no longer has sound

    After upgrading to Win10 1709, the Hyper V VM viewer is no longer playing sound from a Win10 1703 or 1709 guest. It worked fine prior to the 1709 update. Sound also works fine using Remote Desktop. I've tried disabling and re-enabling guest services
    with no luck.

    Win10 PasswordRequired doesn't work on new Guest LID

    I also changed maxpwage from 42 to unlimited for all accounts
    (really, just for GuestX, since all my others are already FALSE).

    These 4 changes seem to have circumvented this problem, since,
    as of now, I haven't had any more problems w/GuestX.
