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...

    Hi Sumit,

    I only have a personal account on my computer and it insists to request me to use an account of a former job I had. I have no work related information on my computer anymore and it still asks for me to sign in. How to remove this constant requesting?

    Kind Regards,

    Bernardo

    I'm having the same issue. It's been telling me to log in again with my work account for a while and I've been trying to see how to remove whatever association exists between my personal computer and former work profile. I don't even remember using that account on my personal computer.

    MICROSOFT! STOP RECONFIGURING THE GUI ON MY COMPUTER! LEAVE ME ALONE!

    I'm about ready to kick your [Mod Removed - Profanity**]** to the curb and never look back.

    I am experiencing this problem too. It seems to me that Microsoft is trying to track every movement of a user's day. Well, I prefer to keep work stuff separate from my home/personal. Now that I have changed jobs I especially do NOT want to be connected to anything associated with the former job.
