When Windows 10 first came out setting up a guest account was not as straight forward as you would think. Thanks Brian.

Microsoft has changed it a bit since this video, but this we thorough enough that I was able to stumble through the changes to settings that Microsoft made. Thank you for the video. :)

Great video for learnt a great deal with your videos. I went from knowing nothing about Windows in 2011 to, now, helping others with their Windows problems.

Brilliant! I hope your vid makes it to the top of the list for this topic!
I tried other methods but they did not work.
The first solutions recommended using the GUI but I could not access some of the necessary items.
Working with cmd prompt solved my issue!
Thank you for going a bit deeper into the subject.

Big thumbs up to you mate! My Mum wants to use my laptop today as hers is broke and I didn't really want her to use my account and thanks to this video she can log in as a guest like the good old days! :D

Hey Brian, awesome detailed video but unfortunately this is not what you say it is. What you just created is a standard account like any other account you can add, even with the GUI. A guest account is slightly more limited than a standard account. Default new accounts created either with CMD or GUI are all standard accounts
