  1. Removing work accounts from personal pc when there is no option to remove


    Hi,

    Just after some advice, i logged into my work teams account on my desktop thinking this may make things easier than having to log onto my remote work desktop each time, however this has applied company security policies to my desktop which i seem to be unable to remove, i have deleted teams and have no wish to further use my work account on my personal desktop, i am however stuck with my desktop constantly going to the lock screen after a very short amount of time due to the policy which i cant change. Under email and accounts in settings my work account is still showing with no option to remove, only to manage, manage takes you to the web based login which again gives no options to remove. How can i remove this account and the policies attached to it so i can get my desktop back to normal. Any help would be much appreciated.

    Thanks

    James

    :)

    Remove account

    I suggest you backup your personalized files first before removing the account.
    To delete an account, follow these steps:
    1. Press WIN + X keys and click Command Prompt (Admin) from the menu.
    2. Type the following command and press Enter. Replace test with the name of your sister's account. Code:

  3. Microsoft Account-Remove Cloud Backup of Personal Settings question

    Hi,
    I looked at my Microsoft Account and under the Devices Menu at the top for my PC I noticed a More Actions dropdown list saying Remove cloud backup of personal settings which talks about turning off syncing first and then clicking on Remove button and then removing the PC from the backed up devices in OneDrive which is never listed in Windows 10. There is also another option in the More Actions dropdown menu for the PC in my Microsoft account saying Remove PC.
    For what purpose would you use these two options ? (Remove cloud backup of personal settings and Remove PC)

    Personal Microsoft Account Linked to Work Computer and Cannot Remove It

    I recently noticed that my personal Microsoft account is linked to the Administrator account on my work computer. I have tried various steps to remove it/sign-out of it and it still shows my username and profile picture upon sign in. I have already tried
    the following steps.

    1. Removing the account through settings (not getting a choice to remove)

    2. Signing in with a local account (not getting an option to do so)

    3. Removing all trusted devices

    4. Removing my work computer under device tab in my online account

    5. Chatted with Tech Support

    6. Changed my password hoping it would prompt me to sign in again

    If anyone has any additional things I can try I appreciate it as the work computer is accessible to whoever is scheduled to work that day.
