    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.

Thanks for the reply.  As I said in my previous message, I run into this auto sign-in problem for all three web browsers (chrome, Edge, and Firefox). I have tried changing settings, profiles, and regedit. I can affected the behavior a little, but not much.

I did make some assumptions and i feel your pain. Is your device AAD joined, hybrid joined, classic AD joined, or not joined at all? If you reset, lets say Firefox does the problem reappear, assuming you import nothing from another browser? Im using a classic AD joined Win10 Pro Business device, my Chrome and Firefox do not display the behaviour you are reporting.
