Guest account unable to login when graphic logon disabled

Question

I have disabled graphic logon on my Windows 10 Pro PC so that users have to type in their username when logging on. This throws up an error when I try and log in on the guest account, though:

The sign in method you're trying to use isn't allowed. For more info, contact your network administrator.

It works on the default and administrator accounts perfectly well. How do I fix the guest account so they can login?

If you temporarily re-enable graphic login does guest work again? — bao7uo, Dec 18 '16 at 10:29

Try logging in as the administrator and opening an elevated command prompt (right click on command prompt icon and select run as administrator). Then type:

net user guest /active:yes

Then see if it works.

If that doesn't help then check whether temporarily re-enabling graphic login makes the guest account work again?

It works if you enable graphic logon, but still shows the error if you change it back. – Dec 18 '16 at 10:53
And that was after doing `net user guest /active:yes` ? – bao7uo Dec 18 '16 at 11:03
Yes I did that command – Dec 18 '16 at 11:23
