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...

    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.

    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.

    Same issue here

    I was only able to stop the problem at the root by doing item 4 (To disconnect your work account, go to Settings) from How to add a work or school account to Windows 10 or 11 | ZDNET . Nothing else really did the job as the account from my previous job still showed up on Settings > Accounts > Email & Accounts.

    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?
