Unable to activate Office

Issue(s):

  • Unable to activate Office. Office keeps signing in with an unwanted account.
  • Outlook keeps prompting for password

Resolution:

  1. Disconnect from Azure
    Windows - Settings > Accounts > Your info - See attached (User was signed into the Azure account.)
  2. Reboot
  3. Sign out of Office


Note: 'Access Work or School' should still be connected to Office 365 - see attached.
