I keep getting this pop up ever since I updated my PC bios and reset the TPM. I keep getting notified that microsoft can't login into my old work account. I am no longer at the job and do not have access to the account. How can I remove the account from my PC?

To remove your old work account from your PC, follow these steps:

  1. Open Settings: Click on the Start menu and select Settings.
  2. Accounts: In the Settings window, go to Accounts.
  3. Access work or school: On the left sidebar, select Access work or school.
  4. Select the Account: Find the old work account that you want to remove and click on it.
  5. Disconnect: Click on the Disconnect button. This will remove the account from your PC.
  6. Confirm: Follow any prompts to confirm the disconnection.

After completing these steps, the old work account should no longer be associated with your PC, and you should stop receiving the login notifications related to that account.

    This removes the account from Settings, but every login dialog box still shows the old account. How do you get rid of the account completely? Why is Microsoft storing these old accounts? Where else on the computer are these things stored?
