Settings managed by University
When you activate Office programs, you are usually invited to let your organization manage your computer. Whenever you see this invite, decline it. If you have accepted it by mistake, you should be able to turn it off by removing your organization account from the Access Work or School category in Windows Settings.
I did as you say and this time didn't check the box 'to allow my organization to manage...' but then I get this pop-up (picture) and it is the same as before. And when I go to 'access work or school' in the windows category It is back to where it was before - that is the school is connected.

Are you able to remove the connection between Windows and the organization account (via Windows Settings)?
- Swiecznik11Feb 16, 2022Copper ContributorI am able to remove this connection in Windows Settings. But when I sign in to Word it goes back to being connected in Windows settings. That is regardless of whether I check that box 'allow my organization to manage...'

The account turns up in the Access work or school category in Windows Settings even if you choose not to let your organization manage your account? Hm, that shouldn't happen. I don't have an explanation, unfortunately. 😞
