LeonPavesic I think it was due to the fact that my windows user was an online microsoft user and not a local user. So Windows took it for granted that I also wanted to log in with that account, while I was only interested in logging in with the company account. I solved it by creating a local user.

Doh! even ifif the windows user was local, logging in to sync the profile, restored the problem. Now I went to settings\account\email and account\manage account and i removed the personal microsoft account. I'm going to restart...tell me "good luck!" 😄
