File explorer keeps asking for a sign in but then tells me I can't log in with a personal log in and requires a business or education log in....

Going round in circles...

    It worked. However have separate log in personal office.com references which I need. I had workplace office login which I removed from registry. Again still asking for workplace log in if I check office.com history to show in privacy for my personal office.com history.

    Microsoft is horrible ! After updating to Windows 11 from Windows 10, I am facing this problem.

    See my next reply.

    It solved !

    This was helpful. But I'm still not sure how to unlink my work computer from my laptop. Do I have to sign out on my work computer or unlink from that end and remove my account?

    Anyway to configure that as the default through Intune. Looking now at the setting catalog just didn't know if you had come across this setting.
