Create a Guest Account on Windows 11

 

Create a “Guest” Account Through Settings

First, open the Settings app on your Windows 11 device and navigate to the Accounts > Family & Other Users.

Under the “Other Users” section, click “Add Account.”

Windows is going to want you to sign in with a Microsoft account. Click “I don’t have this person’s sign-in information” instead.

Next, select “Add a user without a Microsoft account.”

Now enter the name for the guest account. It can’t actually be “Guest” but anything else will work. Leave the password fields empty and click “Next.”

That’s it! The account will now appear alongside the other accounts and it won’t require a password to sign in.

Create Guest Account Through Command Line

This method is a little more technical but requires fewer steps. To begin, find “Command Prompt” in the Start Menu and right-click to run it as an administrator.

Type this command and hit Enter: net user Guest1 /add /active:yes

Note: You can replace “Guest1” with any other name, but you can’t use “Guest.”

That’s it!
