To use guided access, you first need to create a user account that has been assigned the permissions. Then, you need to create a security policy that defines the permissions that the user account will have. Finally, you need to configure the computer to allow access to the user account through the guided access feature.
Creating a User Account with Guided Access Permissions
Creating a user account with guided access permissions can be helpful for those who need to access specific files or folders on a computer but do not want others to be able to access those files or folders.
To create a user account with guided access permissions, you first need to create a user account with the permissions. To do this, open the Control Panel, and then click User Accounts and Family Safety. Click Add or Remove User to add or remove a user. In the Add or Remove User window, click Add User Without Encryption and then enter the name of the user account you want to create.

If Guided Access is not able to access your app, try allowing Guided Access by opening the app and then turning on the Accessible Shortcut. Once you have enabled it, return to the app and double tap the home button to bring up the main screen.
Turn on Guided Access
Guide Access is enabled after you launch the app, so if Guide Access is enabled after you launch an app, you will have to launch the app again.
Guides work on OS apps, so if you turn the feature on as you would for other apps, it may cause you to have difficulties when you launch the app. Try turning the feature off as you would for another app.
Try relaunching the app after you have opened it, and then navigating to the settings menu and turning Guided Access on.
Go to Settings >> Accessibility and toggle Guided Access on. Try again later by switching back to the app.
If the feature is not working, try going into the app and checking if it is disabled.
You might also be able to switch to the Accessibility settings in the Settings app directly in the app you are trying to enable. After you switch to the Accessibility settings, try turning on Guide Assisted Access.
Guided Access can help you when it is not working properly by enabling it again in the Accessibility settings. You need to have Guided Access turned on, then you can try turning it back on. You will have to have Accessibility Shortcuts turned on first, too.
You should be able to see the Guided Access button in the iOS App Store, so try turning it back on.
Guided Access is a feature that is disabled by default, so try opening the Settings app or switching to the iOS device to check for new apps.
Choose General > Accessibility. You should see an option to enable Guided Access after you have opened the app. If that option is disabled, just re-enable it.
You’ll find a setting called Guided Access at the bottom of the General Accessibility screen. Tap it and relaunch the app. If you disable Guide Access on your device, you will need to turn it off and then turn it on.
You will need to tap the Home button in the Accessibility settings on the apps that you use, or the Side button if you are using an iPhone X or a newer model. Now, launch the apps you are trying to access and try again.
If it is, double-tap the Home button or the side buttons in the app you want to use Guided Access in. When it is, tap Guided Access.
Update App
Guided Access may not work as it should, if there are bugs in the software that are causing it to not work correctly. If there are still problems, you can try updating your iOS device.
Having bugs with guides that are installed on some iOS devices when you try to use them in a particular app can cause Guided Access not to work correctly. If that fails, you should try restarting the device to reset it. Apple continually updates its software and all of its components, like the Accessibility feature. If the issue persists, you might need to wipe your device completely. Install a fresh iOS software update to fix issues that cause Guided Access to not function properly.
You can update other apps by visiting this link. If the update doesn’t work, it might be that you have a bug in the iOS 10 or iOS 12 software. If that happens, you’ll need to factory reset it.

If the problem persists, you may need to factory reset your iOS device.
When an update is downloaded, tap Install to begin the process of applying it. You may need to restart your iOS device in order to install the update if you’re experiencing issues with Guided Access. When the update is installed, wait until it is finished installing before you restart your device.
