Hi All,

I am using a personal Microsoft account, however I signed into office using my child's school account (as they provide use of office for free).

On previous devices using Windows 10, this worked fine, however on Windows 11, I get a persistent "Please sign in" message in File Explorer:

1686127614926.png

If I click this, it asks me to sign into the school account which I do not want to do. I do not want any link between windows itself & the school account & I do not want any device management by the school. I just want to be able to use the Microsoft office license on this device.

The account settings do not appear to show any way of restricting what this account is used for so I am at a loss on how to resolve this issue.

I would be most grateful of advice.

Thank you
