Guest user icon
Guest user was set up in preferences but the icon does not appear on the screen when Mac is turned on. Before I upgraded to Catalina the icon always appeared next to mine. How do I get it back?

You might want to play around with the settings on System Preferences > Users & Groups.
First, verify the Guest account is active.
And right below it, check to make sure the settings on the "Login Options" screen is setup the way you think it should be.

Thank you. I discovered that you also have to enable guest user at Automatic Login. Icon now appears on the screen.
