[NFBCS] Removing Old Work Account From Office

[Christopher Chaltain]

I can't tell if you've actually removed the account or not. Here's how you can do it from Outlook. Pull down the File menu with alt and then f. You should land on the info tab. Tab over to the account settings group and expand it with the space bar. The first item is account settings, so bring up this dialog with the space bar. Now select the account you want to remove and tab over to the remove button.

Subject: [NFBCS] Removing Old Work Account From Office

I have an old Microsoft 365 account from a company I used to contract for. Despite signing out of the account, Office continues to try to sign into that account by default. I have to manually sign out and switch to my new subscription, but the error message to restart to save privacy settings persists. I don't know if this issue could be contributing to my issues with documents somehow reverting to a weird version of protected view. I've searched the problem high and low and have not found any good solutions beyond the standard advice to remove the account from Settings and revoke credentials. The advice is moot, because the old account does not appear anywhere outside of Office. I've read that uninstalling and reinstalling does not help. I can try to install a scrub tool and see if I can reinstall that way, but before disrupting my workflow, I wanted to see if anyone here had other thoughts.

Thank you kindly in advance,

Joe
