Allow removal of "Connected to Windows" accounts from Edge profiles
Thanks for the feedback, we've heard this from other users too. Re: the connected to windows accounts, we are working to remove this but since it is cross group collaboration, it may take a while. We eventually would like to just sign you in with the profile account.
Re: Adding an account only to the app, if you select the "This app only" option in the sign in flow where you are asked to manage the device, the account won't be added to the computer and nor will your device get managed.
tboggs I'm having this same issue too. Any updates on this error from Microsoft?
My environment is slightly different, but same result.
We migrated from one 365 tenant to another.
Now the old accounts cannot be removed from the client PC.
I can connect to the old account through the "Manage" option in Windows Email & Account Settings, but I cannot find anywhere to remove the PC. Only "Deactivate."
This seemingly does nothing to the 365 accounts in Windows Email & Account Settings.
I have profiles in Edge for my work account and then about 20 customer M365 Admin profiles and this habit of signing in with the locally connected account (mine) is really annoying.
Please fix so that the profile can ONLY know about the account we actually sign it in with.
It's really annoying and a huge time waster.
- I agree, this is a daily nuisance for me to. It's annoying to need to select the right account for every new tab you open (that uses Azure AD as IdP), but in some scenarios I am automatically logged in with my Windows Account in a profile dedicated to a customer. That can lead to bad things. Please let us hide the Connected to Windows account in Edge profiles.
