Windows 10: I'm being harassed every 5 seconds by a pop up asking me to sign in to my Work or school...

AndrewZorbas · Jun 4, 2022

I recently withdrew from a course in which I was given a ms school account which I used to check emails.However, I'm now getting a pop up telling me to sign into my work or school account - but I can no longer do so because they've kicked me off, so when I try it tells me 'your account has been locked' The pop up returns immediately if I close the window.This school account wasn't linked to my office or anything so I'm not sure why Windows requires me to login to it. I've tried signing into my main account but it just takes me back to the pop up. I've tried restarting my computer and the pop u

Annoying pop up about signing up for work or school account

I don't know what "on a domain" means. I'm not part of any group.

Neither of the articles was any help.

As to the first one, The pop up doesn't ask me to choose between a personal account and a work or school account. It says to sign in to your work or school account; and when I try to sign in, it says my user name is not a work or school account. I hit the
x in the upper right hand corner and it goes away. But an hour later it's back.

As to the second article, I'm not a business user, and I'm not trying to set anything up.

This is becoming an increasing irritant, is there someone I can call and talk to?

Sign-in and sync with work or school accounts in Microsoft Edge builds

A top piece of feedback we’ve heard from Microsoft Edge Insiders is that you want to be able to roam your settings and browsing data across your work or school accounts in Microsoft Edge. Today, we’re excited to announce that Azure Active Directory work and school accounts now support sign-in and sync in the latest Canary, Dev, and Beta channel preview builds of Microsoft Edge.

By signing in with a work or school account, you will unlock two great experiences: your settings will sync across devices, and you’ll enjoy fewer sign-in prompts thanks to single sign-on (Web SSO).

Personalized experiences across devices

When signed in with an organizational account on any preview channel, Microsoft Edge is able to sync your browser data across all your devices that are signed in with the same account. Today, your favorites, preferences, passwords, and form-fill data will sync; in future previews, we’ll expand this to support other attributes like your browsing history, installed extensions, and open tabs. You can control which available attributes to sync, once you enable the feature from the sync settings page. Sync makes the web a more personal, seamless experience across all devices—the less time you have to spend managing your experience, the more time you’ll have to get things done.

Single sign-on across work or school sites

Once you’ve signed in to your organizational account in Microsoft Edge, we’ll use those credentials to authenticate you to websites and services that support Web Single Sign-On. This helps keep you productive by cutting down on unnecessary sign-in prompts on the web. When you access web content which is authenticated with your signed in account, Microsoft Edge will simply sign you in to the website you’re trying to access.

To try this, just navigate to Office.com while signed into Edge with your work or school account. Notice that you didn’t need to sign in with your username and password—you are simply authenticated to the website and can access your content immediately. This also works on other web properties that recognize the organizational account you are signed in to.

How to sign in with your work or school account

To get started with an organizational account in Microsoft Edge, all you have to do is sign in and turn on sync. Just click the profile icon to the right of your address bar and click “Sign In” (if you’re already signed in with a personal account, you’ll have to “Add a profile” first and then sign into the new profile with your work or school account.)

At the sign-in prompt, select any of your existing work or school accounts (on Windows 10) or enter your email, phone, or Skype credentials into the sign-in field (on macOS or older versions of Windows) and sign in.

Once you’re signed in, follow the prompts asking if you want to sync your browsing data to enable sync. That’s it! To learn more about sync, check out our previous article on syncing in Microsoft Edge preview channels. You can always change your settings or disable sync at any time by clicking your profile icon and selecting “Manage profile settings.”

What do you think of sign-in with your work or school account?

We are excited to bring you work/school account sign-in and sync in the Microsoft Edge Insider channels. We hope to make your everyday web surfing experience a breeze. However, we want to be sure that sign-in, as well as all the personalized experiences, actually work for you. Please give sign-in a try and let us know how you like it – or not. If you run into any issues, use the in-app feedback button to submit the details. If you have other feedback about work/school account sign-in or personalized experiences, we welcome your comments below.

Thank you for helping us build the next version of Microsoft Edge that’s right for you.

Annoying pop up about signing up for work or school account

I have Microsoft Office 365. Have had it for 2 years. All of a sudden, starting about a week ago, every time I hit "send/receive all folders" I get a pop up which says "Lets get you signed up" and below it says "work or school account". I don't have either.
It also pops up some times when I just open Outlook. How can I stop this annoying pop up?
