Company email is intruding Personal Windows 11 Account User Setting?

Hi shutterak! My name is David. I am a user of Microsoft products like you, and it is a pleasure to greet you.

It's concerning to hear that your personal laptop's settings, such as face recognition and PIN, are being unexpectedly altered.

From your description, it seems like your company's email, which is registered only on Outlook and is part of the Microsoft 365 subscription, is somehow gaining administrative control over your personal Windows 11 settings. This is not typical behavior and should not happen simply by adding a company email to Outlook on a personal device.

Please review the following steps:

1. Check Account Settings: Go to your Windows 11 account settings and verify which accounts have administrative privileges. For this, go to Settings > Accounts > Your info. Check if the email account linked to the login is your personal Microsoft account. If your company account appears in this section, the issue might be rooted here.

Ensure that your personal account is the administrator and that the company email does not have administrative rights.

After that, go to “Family & other users”. Here, you can see other accounts linked to your laptop. Ensure the company email account is not listed as an administrator.

2. Consult IT Department: If your company email is part of a larger corporate IT policy, it might be helpful to contact your company's IT department. They can provide insight into whether any company policies or security measures might be affecting your personal device.

Generally, and as I mentioned earlier, using a professional account in an application like Outlook should not lead to major issues. However, in your case, if the company email account belongs to a service provided by Microsoft and is associated with a user profile connected to a VPN, it's possible that group policies configured by the IT department may be applied, resulting in the symptoms you describe.

As a temporary measure, you might consider using a local account to log into your user profile and monitoring Windows behavior for some time. You can do this from the account section mentioned earlier and in the 'Your info' section by switching to 'Sign in with a local account instead.'

Let me know if the shared information has been helpful. Regards.

Deleting a Microsoft Domain Account on my Personal Computer

I worked for a company back in January 2020. I now have a Microsoft Corporate domain account on my personal Computer and connected devices. I need to remove this ASAP. I have followed all the suggestions that have been given and have not found a solution
as of yet. There is no option to Delete or Disconnect this account in the settings. Trying to contact someone at my old employer would be a mess at best considering I left the company. I feel like the only option from here is to start from scratch and factory
reset all of my devices that are connected to this account. Honestly, that is a last resort. However, I do not want to compromise any other company's proprietary information that I may be working on in the future. I need to solve this issue soon. If anyone
has a solution or suggestion, I am all ears.
