Edge keeps signing me out
- May 17, 2024
florismkleijne HP Elitebook laptop, Windows 11 (language Norwegian), changed from 365 work account to personal 365 account earlier this year. Login to Windows with personal account. Had this problem with Microsoft Edge signing me out all the time.
Possible solution: Opened Settings, Accounts, Login options, deleted all Hello options (face recognition, finger print and PIN). Recreated these Hello options. I guess there was a connection to my earlier work account in these settings. After restart of laptop there is no problem with Edge signing me out (so far so good day at one). Will report back later this week.
Resetting edge with every single start of edge is NOT a solution 🙂
Also, I wont create a new Microsoft account to loose everything on my account just bc the issue is an account issue on their end?
Especially now that they are making everything account exclusive.
This is an issue still happening and needs to get fixed by Microsoft and noone else.
It only happens on my win 10 device no matter how often I reset/reinstall edge OR windows.
on my linux, never happens.
Wasemack I said create a new user account not new Microsoft account, create local admin account sign into it, then delete your old account after you move the files from old to new if need, then sign into the new account with your microsoft account.

already tried that,
its an account issue, as soon as I login with microsoft anywhere, no matter what app, as soon as any login prompt from windows comes and i login it happens again. same as with tons of other people. local doesnt fix that when I then need to login in edge on a windows device.Even tried every combination of windows hello and profile settings I could think of because that seemed to stop it from happening for maybe a week
