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...

When I open Folder Options, there are three tabs that I can navigate to: "General," "View," and "Search." I do not see a "Privacy" section anywhere. I am using Windows 11. Do you know where I can find it?

First, at the top, click the three dots to get extra options and select "Options"
Then in the new window, uncheck the option for "Show files from Office.com" and the "Please sign in" button should go away like mine did.
Hope this helps!
