Try Log Out, then log In - quicker than Restart. No need to avoid a Guest user, I find it irritating and disabled it in System Preferences/Users and Groups long ago. Easy to restore if you do need it.

Way easier now than when on the phone to support; in fact they may ask you to hang up, create the account, then phone back, which means many lost minutes waiting for a new support person to answer the second time. >
