How to Create a Guest User Account In Windows 10

In Windows 10 the Built in Guest user account cannot be enabled, if you want to enable the guest user, you would need to create a Guest user account.

For some unknown reason As of July 2015, starting with build 10159, Microsoft decided to remove the Guest account from Windows 10.

I have Window 10 Home Edition and cannot do this. The error message tells me "This snapin may not be used with this version of Windows 10." In order to manage User Account, I must use Control Panel.

Hello sir pls show me how to fix the problem preparing automatic repair in windows 10

[agericofunelas]

hi, my guest acct keeps on signing in automatically after booting. Is there any way to stop this? THanks!

[YashChauhan-xnip]

the unknown reason is the metro apps wont open at any cost. and settings is too a metro app. so why develop windows again just for guest account? instead just removing it was less costly because they are giving it for free to 7 and 8.1 users.

Hi Miguel, when I initially installed Windows on my PC I accidentally misspelled my name when it asks. now on the file Explorer etc it comes up with my incorrectly spelled name. Do you know how to fix this? Been really annoying.
Thanks in advance.
