[NFBCS] Removing Old Work Account From Office

[Joe Orozco]

This is what’s galling. I’ve removed the account that way already. I’d
contacted the Accessibility Desk, had the ticket escalated, and still no
luck. The only cold comfort is that Googling the issue tells me there are
others experiencing the same, but misery only loves company for so long.
LOL. I’m telling you, these things only began happening after my
subscription to 365, but I don’t know that the alternative is any better.

 

Thanks guys for giving it a shot,

 

Joe

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
