  1. How do I remove an email account from Windows 11 that I no longer have access to


    I recently left my place of employment and had some of my MS apps associated with my work account on my personal computer. I deleted the email from Outlook but I still get a pop-up asking me to sign in to my work email account, which I no longer have access to. When I go to settings/accounts/email and accounts, I still see my work account listed, which is I'm sure why I keep getting the login prompt. But, I can't seem to remove that account, especially given that I don't have access to it anymore see attached images.Any help would be appreciated.J

    :)

    I suggest you backup your personalized files first before removing the account.

    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:

    Unauthorized Emails from my account?

    It is more than likely that your email account was hacked, either by a virus sniffing your password, or just simply hacked.

    Either way, change your password on your email account. Unfortunately the damage by already be done. They already have your contact list and your email address associated with that contact list. There is nothing stopping them from sending out emails using their own SMTP servers to everyone on your contact list and claiming the emails are from your email address. They don't actually have to have access to your yahoo account or even any yahoo server to send emails to people that come from your address.

    How do I remove an email account from Windows 11 that I no longer have access to

    Windows hello removal from an account I no longer have access to.

    Just a quick recap, you've set up Windows Hello on a user account on your
    PC that is associated with a business account you no longer have access to. Is that right? If that is the case, you could simply
    remove the user account on your PC. You will need an administrator account in order to remove a user account. To remove a user account on your PC, follow these steps:

    • Go to Settings>Accounts>Family & other users.
    • Select the user account that you want to remove.
    • Click Remove.
    • You'll be prompted again, click Delete account and data.

      (Note: Removing a user account deletes all the data the is saved in it)

    Upon removing that account on your PC, you can now set up Windows Hello.

    Do get back to us if you need further assistance.
