Hi,
Thanks for writing us.
You just go to Settings > Users and change the value of a key.
The key is guest_user_enabled under the table global found at /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db.
This database belongs to Settings Storage app. Its current value would be 1.
Change it to 0 using adb with the command: adb shell settings put global guest_user_enabled 0
After changes done, just restart your phone.
