Windows 10: "Your organization requires you to change your password" - I'm not part of an organization

I have windows 10 on my Laptop, installed recently (a few days ago). I had it set up with my own personal email account, login info, etc.

Now, my university provides access to MS Office through my university email (a different email to what I set up windows with). I downloaded Office through my university email, and when I set it up it said something about using your organization's settings. I didn't read this properly and simply hit "yes," thinking it was probably necessary being as I got it for free through my university.

Anyway, the next time I tried to sign in to Windows itself, it said the message in the title: "Your organization requires you to change your password". I changed my password, but it wouldn't let me use any letters, and it had to be over 6 digits. So, basically, it had to be 6+ numbers.

I can log in fine like this, but I don't want this as my sign-in, and changing my password from the settings doesn't change this. I also worry and wonder about what has caused this. Why should setting up MS Word change how I log in to Windows itself? And why should my University be able to control what my login info can be? Is it even my university that is classed as the "organization" in this case? Could it be something/someone else who I should be wary of? (I'm on a new, unknown, network in a shared household with about 10 other people that I don't know).

(Also, password expiration is disabled - I've already tried that).

Any advice?

how do i stop windows from stating "your organization requires you to change your password"

I am using an HP laptop running windows 10 home edition version 1903. My version was just updated to build 18362.535. This is my personal laptop and noone else has access or an account. I am logging in using my microsoft account. Every time there is a
windows update (and even other times) i get the statement 'your organization requires you to change your password". I DO NOT HAVE AN ORGANIZATION. This is a PERSONAL laptop. Why is it asking me to change my password at all, as according to microsoft the deault
value is to NEVER have a password expire. I am getting tired of changing a password that i dont want to be using at all. This is getting ridiculous. Please do not come back and tell me some type of convoluted way to change my registry and give me 500 steps
to follow. Even though i do have some education in computer science, i do not work for MICROSOFT. I am the end user, not the programmer. There should be an easy fix for this. HELP!!
