Sharing your Windows 11 device with others, whether they’re colleagues or friends, often requires a secure and restricted environment. One way to achieve this is by creating a guest user account with limited access. This account provides temporary access for users without granting them full administrative privileges. In this guide, we’ll walk you through the steps to set up a guest account on Windows 11.
