Climbing up the ladder
(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); I am running Windows 10 Home. I the cmd window I run "net user guest /active:yes" and the command completes successfully. I run "net user" and it shows 4 accounts---my account, administrator, guest and default account.
User folder has Guest sub-folder.

When I try to switch to Guest user from my profile picture in start, I get black screen, then login screen for my account. Guest does not show on my login screen, but is active. It is a fast login, like it is switching back to my account. In other words this in the video.



I cannot get at Guest account in login, switch user or in "Accounts" in settings.
I have tried all tutorials that deal with switching accounts Switch User in Windows 10. I have searched on the internet and tried all suggestions.

Guest account worked fine in XP, Vista, Win 7, Win 8 and 8.1. Why is this such a mystery in Win 10? Anybody got a fix that works?

Do a barrel roll!
Press Windows key + X, click Command Prompt (Admin).
In the Command Prompt, type the following command, and then press enter:
sfc /scannow // the scan will be looking for corrupt files


If the issue still exists, try the next method.

Create a new user account and check if it fixes the issue.
Go to Settings. Choose Accounts and then select Family and other users.

Select Add someone else on this PC. Enter a user name and hit Next.
Click on Finish.

Sign out from the current Account and Log into the new account.


(if none of these proceed to work, download the latest build of windows 10
