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...

Thanks, Eric. I searched for answers for this issue and found your response. Not only did it clear up the issue, but it cleared up my confusion. Now I know that it was trying to load files from office.com. So, the annoying "Please Sign In" button is gone AND I know why it was there in the first place. I appreciate you!
Hi Chuck,
it is just a nightmare but I was able to disable the login without unselecting the Office.com files. Check out my reply on Feb 21, 2023 (sorry, don't know how to link it to that response).
Kind regards
this only hides the problem. It doesn't address the underlying issue. Why is it asking for work credentials on personal computers in the first place? Can someone please update with the solution to the root cause?

It's a fix to remove the SIGN IN pop-up. But I don't understand why Microsoft doesn't understand that I used to work for a company that I longer do and in spite of removing all the account data of that business account the same thing is there.
