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.
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?

YES! THANK YOU !!! It was driving me mad. It took me a couple of minutes to find the privacy section for some reason. It's at the bottom of the "general" window, i.e. (...)/options/general/privacy - at the bottom of that "options" window.
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.
