The stock guest account is what it is and a security risk so in the cry for more security I think it's disabled on purpose.
As to it matters, I can't see why you must use the "Guest" account. Get your own?
Despite my (semi) best efforts, my roommate has informed me that my guest account (with all my favorites) did not make the trip from windows 7 to 10. I haven't gotten on his machine yet but have done a little research this am on my chromebook, and it seems this is a purposeful event. There are complicated directions on how to get into a guest account, but i'm not sure that even if i follow them my old account with it's own desktop and favorites will reappear in 10. I used his computer for almost a year until i could afford to buy my own again, and asking him to go back to 7 to fix this (somehow?) is something i REALLY want to avoid. The posts i have seen on other sites are all to the effect that "everyone has their own computer so it doesn't matter." Obviously that is untrue. Did anyone run into this situation and how did you fix it?
