    Recently Microsoft Teams, something I have used for school on my personal computer at home, kept crashing upon start up, saying it has run into an error. Pressing the retry button did absolutely nothing.I figured my computer was having trouble as I changed my password recently, due to my school's nagging change-your-password-every-month policy built into our accounts.After uninstalling Teams and OneNote, deleting logs, etc. I removed my school account and decided to log in from scratch again. I had to go about it differently this time because when I would try to sign out and back in again, Tea

  2. Does attaching to a school account change Windows settings or policies on my personal computer?

    Thanks, JaspreetSingh08. That's good to know. But my question pertains more to changes to my system from just adding the account to my system. To be clear, call the set of all settings, policies, accounts, etc. on my computer "computer initial." Then
    I add my school account to it. Then I log in using my university central authentication service. Then I use some of the information services at my school. Then I log off. Call that "computer final." Is computer initial any different from computer final,
    aside from the existence of the school account?

  3. Does attaching to a school account change Windows settings or policies on my personal computer?

    Are any Windows 10 policies or settings changed when you create a work/school account to Windows? Obviously, I mean settings other than the addition of the account. Is it possible that creating the school account will affect the operation of my computer
    when I'm not connected to school? This is a troubleshooting question, not a privacy question. I just want to know if merely creating the account changes anything else. Can my school implement some policy to "protect" me without my knowledge? Windows sometimes
    displays messages referring questions to a group or domain administrator even though I'm just a lonely home user. And I wonder if that might be related to having added a school account to my PC. It's strange I don't see this discussed anywhere.

    School still requiring login changes after disconnecting on my PC

    This has been going on for a bit now, and I'm finally getting so fed up with having to brainstorm new pins every 3 months. I initially added my school live account in hopes it would make working between home and school easier. After a while, I found it so
    annoying the issues outweighed the benefits, mainly in the fact I was running out of logins I could easily remember. For some reason, the policy for non-school PC is triple how often you need to reset a school-owned one. Anyways, I disconnected, yet I still
    have the organizational restrictions on my login and consistently have to change everything but my fingerprint, which doesn't always work. Here are the repo steps...

    1. Settings -> Accounts -> Access work or school.
    2. Click the profile you wish to disconnect and select "Disconnect".
    3. A) Wait for a month or two until it requires pin reset.

      B) Go to Settings -> Accounts -> Sign-in options and click pin or password. Below it will give you a list of organizational restrictions and hold you to them when creating the pin.
    I can live without a fix, but personally i want my school of my laptop since I won't be going there soon anyways.
