    Devices (Microsoft account)


    My problem is that when I use my Microsoft account to check the devices linked to my account, there is one specific account that when I try to remove, using the Remove pc option, it will come back. I tried to remove it multiple times and it keeps on coming back. One thing is that I don't actually have access to the computer, it is someone elses computer. It first didn't bother me but it does a lot now, since it's not my PC and it keeps on coming back. As I have said I don't have access to this computer and probably never will. I have posted a image and as I said I would click on more actions and remove pc, but after a few hours? or days it would come back. Help please. This has been bugging me for about a year now!

    Unknown devices on my Microsoft account


    Hello Flemmingk, Devices (Microsoft account) :)

    Could these other devices be from friends that you may have signed in to your Microsoft account on for something?

    Either way, you can remove these devices.

    Afterwards to be safe, I would recommend to change the password of your Microsoft account, and enable two-step verification if you haven't already.

    Thanks Brink
    I get different reactions every time I try to delete a device, but the result is that I cannot remove the devices.
    I'll go back to local accounts and delete the Microsoft account.
    I changed to Microsoft account because I wanted to use the Continue on PC feature. This feature doesn't work so I think that I'll just forget about it.
    Thanks for your interest.

    Too many devices in Microsoft Account


    Hello JJ, Devices (Microsoft account) :)

    Yep, that would be the reason why the PC is listed more than once as a device for your Microsoft account.

    Each different computer name will be listed as a separate device.

    The tutorial below can help show you how to remove the devices you want.
