I wonder if you are really using the Guest account ???
Maybe your account is corrupt and you are using a Temp account when you log in ???
Just guessing here.

Point is computers are stolen everyday,
Then the new unknowing buyers come here looking for hacks to get them inside it,

I would suggest using safe mode to access your admin user account,
Safe mode with networking,
Shut down your machine,
Power up and Tap the F8 key continuously until you see a black page with white text,
Use the down arrow key to toggle to safe mode with networking/ hit the enter key.
Login as usual
