  1. My file explorer keeps asking me to sign in to wrong account.


    When I click on it it points me to sign in screen from an old client's orgnisation that I had an email account. When I try to sign in with a different account I click on my current email and it loops back to the old client's sign in page. This organisation is deleted from my list of organisations so I don't know what to do. Please help as am caught in this ongoing loop.

    :)

  2. Why is File Explorer asking me to sign in?

    When I open File Explorer it asks me to sign in on the top right of the window. When I try to sign in with my Microsoft account it says My account is a personal Microsoft Account and that this application does not support personal Microsoft accounts. I tried to log in with the account that is my administrative account on my computer. I don't understand what other account it could possibly want? Does anyone know what I need to do to make it so File Explorer stops asking me to sign in?

    Wrong microsoft account on sign in

    Hi Ken,

    To help fix the issue regarding with computer login, we suggest that you try the following:

    • Press Windows + S.
    • Type User Accounts and hit Enter.
    • Click on the User account of your wife.
    • In the prompt you can either click on keep files (which will keep a back up of all your files) or
      delete files (which will delete all the files associated with this account).
    • Click on Delete Account.
    let us know the outcome.
