Microsoft Office sign in
I am using Windows 11 Insider Preview on an M1 MacBook Pro. I have a Microsoft 365 subscription, and am using Access. I downloaded Office two days ago. However, I appear to be signed in but it asks me to sign in. When I try to, it says there is a problem with the network connection and I won't have full use of Access in three days time.
I found the answer to my problem here:

Essentially use Parallels to install a release version of Windows 11. This is a bit of a hassle as everything has to be set up again. I have now dumped my Insider Version and the new virtual machine is working perfectly including Microsoft 365.

- So you can't sign in to Microsoft Office only or the problem continues with Windows 11 as well? Can you share us the exact error message you got?
- I can sign in using Edge. Access show me logged in, but still asks me to sign in.
