由于只有微软(Microsoft)知道的原因，他们决定从Windows 10中删除(Windows 10)来宾(Guest)帐户。截至2015 年 7 月(July 2015)，从 build 10159 开始，此功能已从Windows 10中消失，(Windows 10)微软(Microsoft)没有做出太多解释。尽管此功能已从Windows 10中删除，但您会发现一些网站承诺以多种方式在Windows 10中启用(Windows 10)来宾(Guest )帐户。问题是所有这些方法都不起作用，或者它们起作用但它们创建了一个标准的本地用户帐户(user account)，而不是一个真正的访客帐户(Guest account). 这就是为什么网络上最流行的解决方案不起作用的原因，当您在Windows 10中“启用”(Windows 10)来宾(Guest)帐户时会发生什么，以及如何清理您在这样做时为自己生成的问题：
什么是Windows中的(Windows)访客帐户(Guest account)？
首先，了解什么是访客帐户(Guest account)以及它与标准本地用户帐户有何不同非常重要。如本指南中所述，Guest帐户是具有非常有限权限的特定本地用户帐户。(user account)它有以下限制：
- 它没有密码，(password and passwords)也无法为其设置密码。
- 它不能安装应用程序、桌面应用程序或硬件设备(apps or hardware devices)。
- 它只能使用启用来宾帐户(Guest account)时安装在您的PC 或设备上的(PC or device)应用程序和桌面程序(apps and desktop programs)。
- 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(Desktop)及其用户文件夹上创建文件。它无法在您的PC 或设备(PC or device)上的任何其他位置创建文件夹和文件。
- 来宾用户(Guest user)帐户只能由管理员启用或禁用。
不幸的是，此功能在Windows 7、 Windows 8.1 上可用，但在Windows 10上不可用。
来宾帐户与(A Guest account is different from) 标准本地用户帐户不同，因为它的权限更少(a standard local user account because it has even fewer permissions)。例如，与Guest 帐户不同，标准本地(Guest account)用户帐户(user account)可以更改其名称或图片(name or picture)，并且可以为其设置密码(password set)。
如何在Windows 10中“启用”(Windows 10)来宾帐户(Guest account)？网络上最流行的解决方案以及为什么它不起作用！
在Google上搜索时，您会发现几种在(Google)Windows 10中“启用”来宾(Guest)帐户的方法。其中之一涉及使用控制面板(Control Panel)。此方法仅在 2015 年7 月(July 2015)发布的 build 10159 之前有效。在所有后续版本中，此方法都不起作用。
但是，网络上最流行的解决方案(most popular solution on the web)说您需要以管理员权限打开命令提示符(Command Prompt)并运行以下命令：
- 键入net user Visitor /add /active:yes并按 Enter。
- 输入net user Visitor *，然后按两次 Enter。
- 输入net localgroup users Visitor /delete并按 Enter。
- 输入net localgroup guests Visitor /add并按 Enter。
您可以看到所有步骤都在下面运行，没有错误。
许多人声称它有效，因为它不返回任何错误。但是，此方法不会(DOES NOT)像在Windows 7或 Windows 8.1中那样创建访客帐户。(A GUEST ACCOUNT)此方法仅创建名为Visitor的本地标准(Visitor)用户帐户(user account)。而已！
创建本指南的人员忽略了Windows 10在计算机管理器(Computer Manager)中显示的一项重要信息。当您打开计算机管理器(Computer Manager)并转到“本地用户和组”(Local Users and Groups")，然后转到组(Groups)时，您会看到Windows 10 机器上存在的所有用户组。(user group)在那里，选择名为Guest的(Guests)用户组(user group)。在前面的过程中，访客用户(Visitor user)被添加到来宾(Guests)组并从用户(Users)组中删除。
阅读Guests组的描述：“Guests默认与Users组的成员具有相同的访问权限，除了Guest帐户受到进一步限制。”("Guests have the same access as members of the Users group by default, except for the Guest account which is further restricted.")
这意味着您创建的访问者用户帐户具有与(Visitor user)用户(Users)组成员相同的访问权限。它不是Guest 帐户(Guest account)，由于Microsoft在Windows 10中禁用了Guest 帐户(Guest account)，并且您新创建的帐户未命名为Guest ，因此受到进一步限制。
如何在Windows 10中“启用”(Windows 10)来宾帐户(Guest account)？网络上第二受欢迎的解决方案以及它如何弄乱您的计算机！
另一种甚至在Windows 10 Home中也可以使用的方法是在(Home)命令提示符(Command Prompt)中运行命令，如下所示：net user guest /active:yes。
您以管理员权限打开命令提示符，键入命令，按(Command Prompt)Enter，然后您会被告知该命令已成功完成。以下是接下来会发生的事情：
如果您转到Windows 10中的(Windows 10)登录(Login)屏幕，您不会看到Guest帐户列为可用于登录的用户帐户(user account)。如果您单击Start按钮，然后在您的用户帐户(user account)上，您会看到Guest作为用户(user account)您可以切换到的帐户。
但是，当您单击或点击Guest时，您会进入登录(Login)屏幕，并要求您使用现有用户帐户登录，而不是Guest。无论您如何诱使Windows 10在您单击它时显示访客帐户，Windows 10 都会让您使用不同的(Guest)用户帐户(user account)登录。
如何在Windows 10中“启用”(Windows 10)来宾帐户(Guest account)？网络上第三大最受欢迎的解决方案以及它如何弄乱您的计算机！
网络上另一个流行的解决方案是打开本地安全策略编辑器或 gpedit(Local Security Policy Editor or gpedit)。在那里，您转到"Security Settings -> Local Policies -> User Rights Assignment"并搜索显示“拒绝本地登录”的策略。("Deny log on locally.")
双击“拒绝本地登录("Deny log on locally,)” ，从被阻止本地登录的用户帐户列表中删除来宾，然后按确定。(Guest)
然后，在同一个工具中，您转到"Security Settings -> Local Policies -> Security Options" 并查找“帐户：访客帐户状态”。("Accounts: Guest account status.")双击此策略。
然后，将访客帐户(Guest account)状态设置为已启用(Enabled)，然后按确定。
一切顺利，没有问题，但是接下来会发生什么：
如果您转到 Windows 10 中的登录(Login)屏幕，您会看到Guest帐户列为可用于登录的用户帐户(user account)。如果您单击Start按钮，然后在您的用户帐户(user account)上，您会看到Guest作为您的用户帐户(user account)可以切换到。
但是，当您登录来宾帐户(Guest account)时，Windows 10 会花很长时间来准备您的帐户，过了一会儿，它开始显示一个又一个错误，如下图所示。
结果是您在Windows 10中获得了一个无法使用的(Windows 10)来宾帐户(Guest account)。
如何修复问题并回滚有问题的更改
现在很明显，您无法在Windows 10中恢复Guest 帐户(Guest account)，也无法使用它登录，让我们看看如何解决您为自己生成的问题：
如果您选择了第一个“解决方案”并创建了一个名为Visitor的(Visitor)用户帐户(user account)，那么您所拥有的只是一个标准的本地用户帐户(user account)，而不是Guest 帐户(Guest account)。您可以使用本教程更快地创建它并将其命名为您希望的任何名称：如何在Windows 10中创建本地（非 Microsoft）帐户，分 4 步。如果您想继续使用访问者帐户(Visitor account)，您可以这样做，没有错误，或者您可以删除它，使用本指南中的说明：如何在Windows中删除(Windows)用户帐户(user account)。
如果您选择了涉及运行一个命令（net user guest /active:yes）的第二种解决方案，您应该禁用您刚刚创建的虚拟访客(Guest)帐户。为此，请以管理员身份启动命令提示符。(Command Prompt)然后，键入命令net user guest /active:no并按键盘上的Enter 。如果命令成功完成，您创建的虚拟访客帐户(Guest account)现在被禁用，您的麻烦就结束了。
如果您选择了涉及使用本地安全策略编辑器或 gpedit(Local Security Policy Editor or gpedit)的第三种解决方案，请遵循相同的步骤并进行与本教程上一节中描述的设置相反的设置。
结论
不幸的是，有些网站会骗你一点流量和快速赚钱。他们甚至向您出售由Microsoft删除了(Microsoft)Windows的一项功能而导致的问题的“解决方案” ，无论您做什么，您都无法恢复，例如Windows 10中的(Windows 10)来宾(Guest)帐户。希望(Hopefully)您已经找到了本指南，阅读了它，按照它的说明进行操作，并且您已经设法解决了您为自己创建的问题。
You can't enable the Guest account in Windows 10. Here's why and how others are lying
For reasons known only to Microsoft, they decіded to removе the Guest account from Windows 10. As of July 2015, starting with build 10159, this feature is gone from Windows 10, without much of an explanation from Microsoft. Even though this feature is removed from Windows 10, you will find several websites promising multiple ways of enabling the Guest account in Windows 10. The trouble is that all these methods don't work or they work but they create a standard local user account, instead of a real Guest account. Here's why the most popular solutions on the web don't work, what happens when you "enable" the Guest account in Windows 10 and how to clean up the problems you've generated for yourself when doing so:
What is the Guest account in Windows?
First and foremost, it is important that you understand what a Guest account is and how it is different from standard local user accounts. As explained in this guide, the Guest account is a particular local user account with very limited permissions. It has the following restrictions:
- It doesn't have a password and passwords cannot be set for it.
- It cannot install apps, desktop apps or hardware devices.
- It can use only the apps and desktop programs that were installed on your PC or device 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 its user folders. It cannot create folders and files anywhere else on your PC or device.
- The Guest user account can be enabled or disabled only by an administrator.
Unfortunately, this feature is available on Windows 7, Windows 8.1 but not on Windows 10.
A Guest account is different from a standard local user account because it has even fewer permissions. For example, a standard local user account can change its name or picture, and it can have a password set for it, unlike with the Guest account.
How to "enable" the Guest account in Windows 10? The most popular solution on the web and why it doesn't work!
When searching on Google, you will find several ways for "enabling" the Guest account in Windows 10. One involves using the Control Panel. This method worked only until build 10159, which was released in July 2015. In all subsequent builds, this method doesn't work.
However, the most popular solution on the web says that you need to open the Command Prompt with administrator permissions and run the following commands:
- Type net user Visitor /add /active:yes and press Enter.
- Type net user Visitor *, and press Enter twice.
- Type net localgroup users Visitor /delete and press Enter.
- Type net localgroup guests Visitor /add and press Enter.
You can see the steps run all below, without errors.
Many people claim that it works because it doesn't return any errors. However, this method DOES NOT CREATE A GUEST ACCOUNT like the one you have in Windows 7 or Windows 8.1. This method only creates a local, standard user account that is named Visitor. That's it!
The people that have created this guide ignore one important information that is displayed by Windows 10 in the Computer Manager. When you open the Computer Manager and go to "Local Users and Groups" and then to Groups, you see all the user groups that exist on your Windows 10 machine. There, select the user group named Guests. In the earlier procedure, the Visitor user is added to the Guests group and deleted from the Users group.
Read the description of the Guests group: "Guests have the same access as members of the Users group by default, except for the Guest account which is further restricted."
This means that the Visitor user account that you have created has the same access as members of the Users group. It is not a Guest account, which is further restricted because Microsoft has disabled the Guest account in Windows 10 and your newly created account is not named Guest.
How to "enable" the Guest account in Windows 10? The second most popular solution on the web and how it messes up your computer!
Another method which is advertised to work even in Windows 10 Home, involves running a command in the Command Prompt, as shown below: net user guest /active:yes.
You open the Command Prompt with administrator permissions, type the command, press Enter, and you are told that the command has completed successfully. Here's what happens next:
If you go to the Login screen in Windows 10, you do not see the Guest account listed as a user account that you can use to sign in. If you click the Start button and then on your user account, you see Guest as a user account you can switch to.
However, when you click or tap Guest, you get to the Login screen, and there you are asked to sign in using your existing user account, not Guest. No matter what you do to coax Windows 10 into showing a Guest account when you click on it, Windows 10 sends you to sign in with a different user account.
How to "enable" the Guest account in Windows 10? The third most popular solution on the web and how it messes up your computer!
Another popular solution on the web involves opening the Local Security Policy Editor or gpedit. There, you go to "Security Settings -> Local Policies -> User Rights Assignment" and search for a policy that says: "Deny log on locally."
Double click on "Deny log on locally," remove Guest from the list of user accounts that are blocked from logging in locally and press OK.
Then, in the same tool, you go to "Security Settings -> Local Policies -> Security Options" and look for "Accounts: Guest account status." Double click on this policy.
Then, set the Guest account status to Enabled and press OK.
All goes well, without problems but, here's what happens next:
If you go to the Login screen in Windows 10, you see the Guest account listed as a user account that you can use to sign in. If you click the Start button and then on your user account, you see Guest as a user account you can switch to.
But, when you sign into the Guest account, Windows 10 takes forever to prepare your account and, after a while, it starts displaying error after error, like the one in the picture below.
The result is that you get an unusable Guest account in Windows 10.
How to fix things and roll back the problematic changes
Now that it is clear that you can't get the Guest account back in Windows 10 and you can't sign in with it, let's see how to fix the problems you have generated for yourself:
If you chose the first "solution" and you have created a user account named Visitor, then all you have is a standard local user account, not a Guest account. You could have created it more quickly and called it everything you wished, using this tutorial: How to create a local (non-Microsoft) account in Windows 10, in 4 steps. If you want to keep using the Visitor account, you can do so, without errors, or you can delete it, using the instructions in this guide: How to delete user accounts in Windows.
If you chose the second solution which involved running one command (net user guest /active:yes), you should disable the dummy Guest account that you just created. To do so, start the Command Prompt as administrator. Then, type the command net user guest /active:no and press Enter on your keyboard. If the command completed successfully, the dummy Guest account you created is now disabled and your troubles are over.
If you went for the third solution which involved using the Local Security Policy Editor or gpedit, follow the same steps and make the opposite settings to those described in the previous section of this tutorial.
Conclusion
Unfortunately, there are websites that lie to you for a bit of traffic and a quick buck. They even sell you "solutions" for problems that are caused by the fact that a feature of Windows has been removed by Microsoft, which you can't get back, no matter what you do, like the Guest account in Windows 10. Hopefully, you have found this guide, read it, followed its instructions and you have managed to solve the problems that you created for yourself.
