Important Considerations When Enabling Guest Account

As mentioned in the link above, enabling the Guest account may have negative effects on your computer.

If you consider why the Guest account is not enabled by default, you can probably guess the reasons.

In fact, after I enabled the Guest account, I encountered extremely critical bugs such as being unable to open certain settings and being unable to configure restore settings. (I’m not saying the Guest account is 100% the cause. There were also cases where themes were the cause. However, it seems highly likely.)

Since it was a virtual environment, it wasn’t a huge loss, but if you’re going to enable the Guest account, I recommend thinking carefully before doing so.
