Need Help Disabling the Multi User in Android 7


Recommended Posts

I wanted to disable the multi-user feature in Android in my both Motorola phones, one has Android 5.1 and other has Android 7. I have been successful in Android 5.1 phone through the CMD command using ADB tools, the command I ran is this to disable it:

db shell settings put global guest_user_enabled 0

Here is the source of this. And the result is this:

 

 

As you can see in above video the function does not respond at all.

 

Now the same command I am running in my Android 7 phone is not working and the user panel is same as it is, this is where I need your help, what wrong am I doing or is there any change in the command that is need to be done.

    • I'm sorry for sounding rude. I was just frustrated. I really want to get this right because I don't want to take any risk of potentially contaminating other hardware and risk losing precious files. Thanks again for the help. 
    • I am low-key enjoying the new start menu of 25H2 build. Looks like the management team who shoved the Recommended Section down our throats up till now got fired in recent gommage at MS. Also loving the 6Ghz Hotspot feature. I only enabled these 2 features and I am happy. I keep an eye on MDL forums for 26200.xxxx updates once a week to stay up to date manually. I downloaded the latest build from https://uupdump.net selected Dev Channel tab and downloaded amd64 build. Let the script ripp. Then I used vivetool to enable the above 2 features • 25H2 New Start Menu ViVeTool.exe /enable /id:47205210,49221331,49381526,49402389,49820095,55495322,48433719 • Enable Wifi 6Ghz Hotspot ViVeTool.exe /enable /id:40466470,48433719 Reboot and enjoy. Almost all the above info was provided by Neowin at some point.
    • Indeed, I do think its sad in some ways a corporation can never be content with "performing well across every metric" and having over £59 billion cash on hand.
    • They've been focusing on security and quality? Could have fooled me. Their own paying customers literally just got breached because they failed to push SharePoint updates downstream to on prem servers operating outside of their "365" ecosystem.
    • The animosity is unnecessary, when I opened the page I only saw one response which never mentioned your other steps, and when I hit reply it jumped straight to the bottom and again, I saw no other responses.  I was simply agreeing with the first comment that said yes, you should be fine if you erase its current operating system. Using another PC, or the copy of Windows that comes on that PC (former option is more trustworthy), download and run the Windows Media Creation tool.  It will walk you thru the process of downloading Windows and writing it to a USB stick.  It will even ask you at one point whether you're reinstalling it to the current machine or installing it on another machine. Then just boot the PC in question from that USB stick.  Usually spamming Esc, Del, F-8, F-9, F-10, F-11, F-12 or F-2 immediately after power on will bring up a boot menu, it varies by manufacturer.  If Windows starts booting you either missed your window or hit the wrong key. Follow the on-screen instructions.  When it gets to the disk formatting part I usually just delete all the partitions on the destination drive, then select the unpartitioned space as my destination.  The Windows installer will then automatically partition the drive as needed. Be prepared to download drivers from the PC manufacturer's website, they may not come bundled with Windows and you may not be able to use things like WiFi or ethernet until you have them.  They "might" work straight away, but they also might not.  Better to be prepared with a spare PC and a USB stick to transfer them over.
