In previous versions of Windows, the guest account (Guest) allowed users to create a limited environment for other people to use applications and access the Internet, but unfortunately this special account no longer exists in Windows 11 and 10. However, you can still create a limited account using settings, Computer Management, Command Prompt, and even PowerShell commands. Follow us to create a temporary guest account in Windows 11.

How to create a guest account using the settings page?

To create a guest account in Windows 11, you must follow the steps below:

  • In the first step, open the Settings page.
  • Now click on Accounts.
  • From the right panel, click on Family & other users.

In the “Other users” section, you must click the Add account  button.

In this step, click on the I do not have this person sign-in information option as shown below.

  • Note: Although the guest account feature is no longer native to Windows, the word Guest is still a reserved name for the system, so you should not use the name “Guest” for your account.
  • Create a password for your account.
  • Complete security queries to enable the recovery feature.
  • Now click the Next button.

Once you have completed the above steps, a standard limited account will be created for you so that you can safely share it with guests and others. Finally you need to log out of your current account and log in to the account you just created.

You can add this newly created account to the “Guest” group to increase its restrictions. However, you should note that it is not possible to make changes to user groups through Settings, and you must use the Computer Management or Command Prompt app.
