HotCakeX I have had the same problem...

1. I had 2 profiles "Home" and "Work"
2. "Home" was signed in and syncing with my personal microsoft account
3. Upon installing todays update I was greeted with the similar message that my account was now linked with my Work AD account and syncing was disabled by my administrator.

4. My former "Home" profile was now renamed "Work" and seemingly permanently linked to the account used to login to the computer. (I can't see a way to unlink this)

5. My former "Work" profile seems untouched

6. Creating a new profile to sync it with my personal microsoft account requires adding that account to windows hello. Kind of annoying, but not the end of the world.

The problem I'm left with is somehow getting my work bookmarks back into what seems to be required to be my work profile now.

Hi,
#3 is strange, accounts getting merged/linked. the whole point of having separate profiles is to have separate and different content on each of them, merging and linking them doesn't make sense, must be a bug?
