While I don't really expect anybody to know what they've done to break this, at least this explains why the guest account is currently not listed. So Microsoft does know about the problem.

There is a question on about this showing that some code was quickly added to the control panel to not show the guest account. The desktop is blinking and you can't click anything. However, the whole Explorer shell is crashing and restarting constantly. We can see guest listed, this wasn't the case in older versions of Windows.Īfter removing guest from that policy, it is listed on the logon screen and we can using it to log on.

Local Policies – User Rights Assignment – Deny log on locally Using Computer Management or net user you can still enable the guest account, but even then it doesn't show up on the logon screen.

In Windows 10, the Guest entry is missing. In older versions of Windows and even in Windows 10 previews you could enable the built-in guest account in control panelĬontrol Panel\User Accounts\User Accounts\Manage Accounts
