Work feed feature not available

Hello there, 

As an immediate help, if I'm not posting in the right platform, please let me know... Thanks. 

 

I am a freelance and working with few customers (Microsoft tenants).

I am using 3 Work profiles synced to Microsoft 365 accounts) and 1 Personal profile (synced to my personal Microsoft account).

 

I used to be able to see the "Work feed" whenever I opened a new tab in Edge. I am 99% sure I managed to that without connecting/registering my device to any of my Microsoft 365 accounts. I say that because since I once did that by mistake, I was forced to change my Windows Hello PIN to 6 digits instead of 4, and some other organizational policies. I disconnected my device from that organization, and since then - every time I am signing in a Microsoft 365 account in one of my desktop apps (Outlook, Edge, Office etc.) I pay a lot of attention to choose "Only for this app" to avoid the registering of my device. 

 

A week ago, I had to re-install Windows 11 on my device, and, as part of this, to reinstall Edge. After syncing my profiles to the different Microsoft 365 accounts, I can no longer see the Work feed, and clicking on the app launcher result in a "Something went wrong" error message. If I type one of the 365 suite apps' URL (say https://outlook.office.com/mail), I'm taken to the app homepage and with SSO I'm automatically logged in the service. This shows you I am logged in to my account.

 

Reading this ("Make sure you're signed in to your Windows device with your work or school user ID"), I understand my device should indeed be signed in this work account, but:

  • Signing in my device to this account automatically register it to their organization, which I want to avoid.
  • As mentioned, I am pretty sure I was able to achieve this in the past without the need to do that.

Can anyone help me solve this issue?

I am using the latest public version of Edge and Windows 11 (as mentioned, I have just reinstalled Windows).
