当有人访问一段时间并需要访问您的Windows 计算机或平板电脑^{(Windows computer or tablet)}时，您不应泄露您的用户帐户详细信息。您可以做的最好的事情是在Windows中启用^(Windows)来宾^{(Guest )}帐户并让您的访问者使用它。这可以确保您的私人文件和系统设置安全，并且不会让您看起来像个坏人。🙂 在本指南中，我们将解释什么是访客^{(Guest )}帐户以及如何在Windows 7和Windows 8.1中启用它，以及如何在不再需要它时将其关闭。我们还将向您展示如何在Windows 10中创建具有一些限制的标准访客^(Visitor)帐户，因为不幸的是，这操作系统^{(operating system)}不允许您使用受限的访客^(Guest)帐户。

什么是Windows的^(Windows)来宾用户^{(Guest user)}帐户？

Windows的来宾^{(Guest )}帐户是标准的本地用户帐户^{(user account)}，权限非常有限。来宾^(Guest)帐户具有以下限制：

• 它没有密码，您无法为其设置密码
• 您不能使用它来安装程序、通用应用程序或硬件设备^{(apps or hardware devices)}
• 启用Guest^(Guest)帐户时，它只能使用已安装在PC上的应用程序
• 它不能更改其帐户类型^{(account type)}、名称或图片^{(name or picture)}
• 它不能更改其他用户帐户的设置
• 它无法访问其他用户帐户的库和用户文件夹
• 它只能在桌面及其用户文件夹中创建文件 - 它不能在您 PC 上的其他任何地方创建文件夹和文件
• 访客^{(Guest )}用户帐户只能由管理员启用或禁用

听起来很完美，对吧？当访问者想要使用您的Windows 计算机^{(Windows computer)}时，Guest帐户允许他们浏览互联网、使用Facebook或在YouTube上观看视频，同时保护您的设置、工作和文件免受窥探。

来宾用户^{(Guest user)}帐户在哪些操作系统中工作？

来宾^{(Guest )}用户帐户可以在Windows 7^{(Windows 7)}和Windows 8.1中启用和使用。不幸的是，Windows 10 不支持来宾^(Guest)帐户。尽管互联网上的一些网站承诺^{(internet promise)}会向您展示启用它的方法，但它们都是错误的，正如您在本文中看到的那样：您无法在Windows 10中启用^{(Windows 10)}访客帐户^{(Guest account)}。以下是其他人撒谎的原因和方式。

但是，如果您使用 Windows 10，则可以创建一个标准的本地用户帐户^{(user account)}，该帐户的权限比管理员少，并且还可以调整为类似于来宾^(Guest)帐户，即使它不是真实的。滚动^(Scroll)到本指南的末尾以了解如何执行此操作。

注意：^{(NOTE: )}在Windows 7和Windows 8.1中，启用、禁用和使用来宾^(Guest) 用户帐户^{(user account)}所需的步骤相同，并且大部分看起来也相同。正因为如此，也因为我们想让事情尽可能简单，在有关Windows 7和Windows 8.1的部分中，我们主要使用在Windows 7中截取的屏幕截图。

如何在Windows 7和 Windows 8.1中启用访客用户^{(Guest user)}帐户

首先使用管理员用户帐户^{(user account)}登录您的 Windows PC 或设备。^{(PC or device)}然后，打开控制面板^{(Control Panel)}并导航到"User Accounts and Family Safety -> User Accounts”。

在“用户帐户^{(User Accounts)}”窗口中，有许多选项可用于编辑您的用户帐户^{(user account)}。要启用访客^(Guest)帐户，请单击或点击“管理另一个帐户”链接。^{("Manage another account.")}

您现在应该会看到在您的 Windows PC 或设备^{(PC or device)}上配置的所有用户帐户的列表。单击^(Click)或点击访客^(Guest)用户帐户。

您的 Windows 7 或 8.1 现在会询问您是否要打开来宾^{(Guest )}用户帐户On。按下开启^{(Turn On )}按钮。

Windows 将您带回“管理帐户^{(Manage Accounts)}”窗口，您可以关闭该窗口并开始使用来宾^(Guest)帐户。

如何在Windows 7和 Windows 8.1中登录和使用访客用户^{(Guest user)}帐户

从您的用户帐户^{(user account)}注销并转到登录屏幕。在Windows 7中，您应该会看到Guest用户帐户^{(user account)}与所有其他已配置的用户帐户^{(user account)}一起显示。

在Windows 8.1中，登录屏幕看起来有些不同，但访客^(Guest) 用户帐户^{(user account)}也列在所有其他可用帐户旁边。

在任一操作系统中^{(operating system)}，单击或点击^{(click or tap)}访客^{(Guest )}登录。不需要密码。首次登录时，Windows需要一些时间来准备此用户帐户^{(user account)}、其应用程序和设置。完成后，您将看到桌面或“开始^(Start)”屏幕。

您可以使用已安装的应用程序和桌面程序^{(apps and desktop programs)}，但不能安装任何新内容。尽管两个Windows版本中的桌面看起来相同，但Windows 8.1中的“^{(Windows 8.1)}开始^(Start)”屏幕对于来宾^{(Guest )}用户帐户有很大不同。

它仅包含五个磁贴，但幸运的是，您可以自定义它并为所有可用的应用程序添加新磁贴。

如何在Windows 7和 Windows 8.1中禁用来宾用户^{(Guest user)}帐户

要禁用来宾^{(Guest )}用户帐户^{(user account)}，请从它注销并使用对您的 Windows PC 或设备^{(PC or device)}具有管理权限的用户帐户^{(user account)}登录。打开控制面板^{(Control Panel)}并进入"User Accounts and Family Safety -> User Accounts,"单击或点击“管理另一个帐户”^{("Manage another account" )}链接，然后点击访客^(Guest)。

接下来，单击或点击“关闭访客帐户”^{("Turn off the guest account" )}链接。

Guest 帐户^{(Guest account)}现已禁用，其所有数据均已删除。

如何在Windows 10中创建^{(Windows 10)}访客用户^{(Visitor user)}帐户，类似于Windows 7和 Windows 8.1中的访客帐户^{(Guest account)}

由于Windows 10不允许您创建和启用真正的来宾^(Guest)帐户，因此最接近的替代方法是创建具有尽可能多的限制的本地标准用户帐户。^{(standard user account)}如果您不知道如何在Windows 10中创建本地帐户或如何为其授予标准权限（非管理权限），这些指南可以帮助您：

• 如何在Windows 10^{(Windows 10)}中创建本地（非 Microsoft）帐户，分 4 步
• 在Windows^(Windows)中更改用户帐户^{(user account)}类型（标准或管理员^{(Standard or Administrator)}）的 3 种方法

请注意，尽管您不能使用内置的Guest帐户，但 Windows 10 仍然不允许您创建名为Guest的本地帐户。我们建议您为其选择一个备用名称^{(alternate name)}，例如Visitor。

结论

在您关闭本文之前，请不要犹豫，在Windows 7和Windows 8.1中尝试使用^{(Windows 8.1)}Guest帐户，并在下面的评论部分分享您的印象。你认为它有用吗？如果是的话，它运作良好吗？您是否在Windows 10中错过了它，或者您认为为您的客人创建一个标准的本地帐户就足够了？

Simple questions: What is the Guest account and how do you turn it on?

When someone is visiting for a while and needs access to your Windows compυter or tablet, you should not give away your user аccount dеtails. The best thing you cаn do is enable the Guest account in Windows and have your visitor use it. This keeps your private files and system settings safe and does not make you look like a bad person. 🙂 In this guide, we will explain what a Guest account is and how to enable it in Windows 7 and Windows 8.1, and how to turn it off when you no longer need it. We will also show you how to create a standard Visitor account with some limitations in Windows 10 because, unfortunately, this operating system does not allow you to use a limited Guest account.

What is the Guest user account from Windows?

The Guest account from Windows is a standard, local user account, with very limited permissions. The Guest account has the following restrictions:

• It does not have a password, and you cannot set one for it
• You cannot use it to install programs, universal apps or hardware devices
• It can use only the applications that were already installed on the PC when the Guest account was enabled
• It cannot change its account type, name or picture
• It cannot change the settings of other user accounts
• It cannot access the libraries and user folders of other user accounts
• It can create files only on the desktop and in its user folders - it cannot create folders and files anywhere else on your PC
• The Guest user account can be enabled or disabled only by an administrator

Sounds perfect, right? When visitors want to use your Windows computer, the Guest account allows them to browse the internet, use Facebook or watch videos on YouTube, while keeping your settings, work, and files, safe from prying eyes.

In what operating systems is the Guest user account working?

The Guest user account can be enabled and used in Windows 7 and Windows 8.1. Unfortunately, Windows 10 does not support the Guest account. Although some websites on the internet promise to show you ways to enable it, they are all wrong, as you can see in this article: You cannot enable the Guest account in Windows 10. Here's why and how others are lying.

However, if you use Windows 10, you can create a standard local user account, which has fewer permissions than administrators and can also be tweaked to resemble the Guest account, even if it is not the real thing. Scroll to the end of this guide to see how to do that.

NOTE: In Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 the steps required to enable, disable, and work with the Guest user account are the same and also look the same for the most part. Because of that, but also because we wanted to keep things as simple as possible, in the sections regarding Windows 7 and Windows 8.1, we are using screenshots taken mainly in Windows 7.

How to enable the Guest user account in Windows 7 and Windows 8.1

Start by logging in on your Windows PC or device, with a user account that is an administrator. Then, open the Control Panel and navigate to "User Accounts and Family Safety -> User Accounts."

In the User Accounts window, there are lots of options available for editing your user account. To enable the Guest account, click or tap the link that says "Manage another account."

You should now see a list of all the user accounts configured on your Windows PC or device. Click or tap on the Guest user account.

Your Windows 7 or 8.1 now asks whether you want to turn the Guest user account On. Press the Turn On button.

Windows takes you back to the Manage Accounts window, which you can close and start using the Guest account.

How to sign in and use the Guest user account in Windows 7 and Windows 8.1

Sign out from your user account and go to the sign in screen. In Windows 7, you should see the Guest user account displayed together with all the other configured user accounts.

In Windows 8.1, the sign in screen looks a bit different, but the Guest user account is also listed near all the other accounts available.

In either operating system, click or tap on Guest to sign in. No password is required. When you sign in for the first time, Windows takes some time to prepare this user account, its apps, and settings. When done, you get to see the desktop or the Start screen.

You can use the apps and desktop programs that are already installed, but you cannot install anything new. Although the desktop looks the same in both Windows versions, the Start screen in Windows 8.1 is very different for the Guest user account.

It includes only five tiles but, luckily, you can customize it and add new tiles to it, for all the available apps.

How to disable the Guest user account in Windows 7 and Windows 8.1

To disable the Guest user account, sign out from it and log in with a user account that has administrative rights on your Windows PC or device. Open Control Panel and got to "User Accounts and Family Safety -> User Accounts," click or tap on the "Manage another account" link and then on Guest.

Next, click or tap on the "Turn off the guest account" link.

The Guest account is now disabled, and all its data is deleted.

How to create a Visitor user account in Windows 10, that resembles a Guest account from Windows 7 and Windows 8.1

As Windows 10 does not allow you to create and enable the real Guest account, the closest alternative is for you to create a local standard user account with as many restrictions as possible. If you do not know how to create a local account in Windows 10 or how to give it standard permissions (not administrative), these guides can help you:

• How to create a local (non-Microsoft) account in Windows 10, in 4 steps
• 3 ways to change the type of a user account (Standard or Administrator), in Windows

Note that, although you cannot use a built-in Guest account, Windows 10 still does not let you create a local account with the name Guest. We recommend you to choose an alternate name for it, such as Visitor.

Conclusion

Before you close this article, do not hesitate to experiment with using the Guest account in Windows 7 and Windows 8.1, and share your impressions in the comments section below. Do you consider it useful and, if yes, does it work well? Do you miss it in Windows 10, or do you believe creating a standard local account for your guests is enough?
