Windows 10: "Work or school account problem" error every few days, however there's no problem.

I'm logged in on my Windows 10 PC with my personal account and with my uni account. The personal one gives no problem whatsoever, however every few days the uni one gives me a "Work or school problem" error saying my password has probably been changed and I need to login again. The password has NOT been changed and just logging in again with the same password as always fixes the problem for a couple of days. This isn't a big problem, however it's getting rather annoying.

Hi,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



I appreciate the efforts taken by you in resolving the issue. I understand that you are receiving an error related to your email account. I’ll certainly assist you with the issue.



However, please let us know:

• When you say “I deleted the e-mail account” do you mean deleting the Microsoft account or deleting the account from your computer?
  
• Are you using a Microsoft account to login to the computer?
  

Meanwhile, I would suggest you to refer the troubleshooting steps mentioned below and see if that helps:

1. Press Windows logo key + I, to open
   Settings.
   
2. Click on Accounts, and select
   Access work or school from the left pane.
   
3. Now, click on the email account and select
   Disconnect.
   
4. Follow the on-screen instructions.
   

If this doesn’t work, you may want to try converting the account to a local account and see if that helps. Refer the steps mentioned below:

1. Press Windows logo key + I, to open
   Settings.
   
2. Click on Accounts and select
   Your info from the left pane.
