Can’t add local user “Guest” account to login screen – Microsoft Tech Community.I created a guest account on windows 10 but unable to sign in,why? – Super User
I tried it and got the following rather scary results:. If you should be so reckless as to try my experiment, you can then spend even more time going down the rabbit hole here , where people are discussing the “Shell Infrastructure Host has stopped working” problem.

The concensus of opinion in this forum is that it is impossible to recreate in Win 10 the Guest account of previous versions of Windows. The workaround is to create a local user account you may have to Google or Bing how to do that , which, by definition, is not a Microsoft Account, and doesn’t require an e-mail adddress, or other identity details. Name this new local user account Visitor, and create it as a Standard user, not Administrator, and you will have as close as you are going to get to the old Guest account.

The guest account lets other people use your computer without being able to change PC settings, install apps, or access your private files.
Do note however that Windows 10 no longer offers a Guest account to share your PC, but you can create a restricted account to emulate that kind of functionality.
How to set up a guest account on Windows If the reply was helpful please don’t forget to upvote or accept as answer , thank you.
