Add Local Guest User to PC that has Entra Enabled

Question

Hi so I have a customer that I setup Entra on their desktop for employees to sign into but they want a guest account that their kids can access without an entra email. So I tried creating a local account for the guest but when I try to login to the local account from the switch user I click Guest User and instead of loginning into the guest user it just goes back to the login screen and says enter username and password for the other user account. I tried changing the policy to show the guest user on the sign in screen but I'm confused as to why I cant add it into the sign in screen as well as why it cant sign into he guest user on the computer and it just kicks me right back to enter the email and password for entra.Please help!

Answer 1

In Start Search type secpol.msc and hit the Enter key.

Navigate to:

Local Policies > Security Options

Scroll down to Interactive logon: Do not display last user name

Disable it.

Find "Accounts: Block Microsoft accounts" and set it to "This policy is disabled".

Reboot.
