Setting up a Guest/Visitor account with limited rights on a Windows 10 computer

To set up a Guest/Visitor account with limited rights on a Windows 10 computer, open an elevated command window and use these commands:

  1. net user Visitor /add /active:yes
  2. net user Visitor *
    You are prompted to enter and confirm a password but you can leave both blank since it’s a very limited account.
  3. net localgroup users Visitor /delete
  4. net localgroup guests Visitor /add

You will now see an account called Visitor you can choose on the sign-on screen.
