I was not able to find a way to create a built-in Guest user account under Windows 10 using their new Control Panel, so I resorted to adding it manually via the Computer Management snap-in:

After which it started appearing in the User switcher:

But if I click it to switch to it, Windows kicks me out into the login screen:

and nothing happens. (Note that the Guest account is no longer shown here.)

I also checked the event log and the only record it has about this event is under Local -> Windows Logs -> Application:

The winlogon notification subscriber was unavailable to handle a notification event.

So what am I doing wrong?

    Workaround here to create a "visitor" account with with all the powers of a normal guest account. [Why is the guest account missing/broken in Windows 10?](http://superuser.com/a/979836) – DavidPostill Nov 02 '15 at 22:54
  • @DavidPostill: Yeah, that's what I observed. I literally managed to hang up Explorer in that blinking state like he describes there. I had to literally do the power button reboot to fix it. I can't believe how buggy Windows 10 is. I hope they fix it soon. – c00000fd Nov 02 '15 at 22:57
