Why is file explorer asking for a sign in?

Anonymous

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 Dave,

I am Sumit here to assist you with this question.

That shows Onedrive Storage, a new feature in 22H2.

Are you signed in with a work account?

Hi, Sumit. I have the same problem and yes, I am signed in with a work/business account. In fact, when I go to sign in, File Explorer wants me to log in using a different business account than my own. I do work as a subcontractor, and these are accounts I have access to--but I want to be signed in with my own business (for obvious reasons).

Thanks.

It’s asking for a work account that I no longer have. How do I tell it that I don’t have a work account?

I have the same issue. I just want it to stop asking me. I tried my MS account, but it won't take it.

I am facing the same issue since I have updated the windows. Any idea how to stop it and I cannot sign in. It keeps on going round and round and I cannot even sign in
