  1. Can't remove "work or school" account on Win11


    Greetings everyone,I am a subscriber of Office 365 Home and on one of my machines, I made the mistake of logging in using "work or school account" as opposed to my personal account. This has now left footprints of the two accounts on my Windows machine and even though I am logged in to my personal account, I get a pop-up every 15 or 20 minutes asking me to enter my password, presumably for my 'other' account.I have looked up similar issues and tried logging in as a local admin to remove the account, but nothing I try seems to work. There is no disconnect button when I drill down into this acco

    :)

    Remove Deactivated Work Or School Email Account

    I have an organizational email account that has been deactivated, current guides online say the following:

    "If you need to remove an account from your PC:

    1. Select Start > Settings > Accounts > Access work or school .
    2. Select the account you wish to remove, then select Disconnect

      ...."
    However, the only option presented at this section is "Manage" which forwards me to my organization's page to login. The account has since been deactivated with no way to get to the next step.
    I have been getting notifications from my system that "There is a problem with a work or school account click her to fix now" but obviously can't login to remove the account from the system.
    Is there a work around to remove the account without logging in?

    Hi Anders,

    I am Dave, I will help you with this.

    Open the Settings App.

    Go to Accounts.

    Select Emails and Accounts, is school Email listed there, if it is, is there an option to disconnect (not remove) from that account?

    Select Access Work or School, is school Email listed there, if it is, is there an option to disconnect (not remove) from that account?

    On the left, click 'Your Info' is that school account listed on that page?

    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:
