    Help with restoring access to my personal microsoft account on laptop after latest Windows...


    AFter the latest Windows 11 update, my sign in page had set up my work microsoft account as the main user sign in. when I used the "other user" option to sign in with my personal microsoft account I got a message "you can't sign in with this account". After several reboots now when I try to sign in it says the username and password aren't correct, even though I can sign into Microsoft on another computer with those same credentials. now it also no longer recognizes my PIN for my personal account.I have run the troubleshooting multiple times and nothing has worked, this has cost me 5 hours so f

    Join Teams for work or school meeting with personal Microsoft account

    Microsoft Teams Insider Blog: As a part of ongoing work to improve the experience when joining Teams meetings, we have just made a new update available for Teams Insiders. When using your personal Teams account to join a meeting that originated from a Work or School Teams account, you previously had to join as a guest, often causing your meeting to open in a web browser with limited functionality. Now you can join as your signed-in personal Microsoft account from within the Teams app on Windows 11, providing a better meeting experience for all parties. In the first phase of rolling out this new functionality, you will get the new experience when joining a Teams for work or school meeting from within Teams free by tapping a Teams for work or school meeting link in a chat or community within Teams free. Your signed-in personal Microsoft account will be used when you join the meeting.
