Working with multiple work accounts on a windows 10 device
Hello everyone I think it's time for me to vent my frustration about working with multiple work/education accounts on a windows 10 device... First of all, I have 3 Microsoft Accounts (1x Pers...

Hi,
I would just add my work account only to apps that I want to use, there is a checkbox that if you leave it checked, it will let apps use it by default.
if you uncheck it, you will be able to log in to each app separately using your work account so not all apps will have access to it.
for Edge browser, what's the problem exactly?

Hi,
I tried this as well, but this checkbox where I can say "let your organization manage your device" or something (I don't know the right sentence) does not appear anymore, idk why but I know which checkbox you mean.
I recently reset my whole machine (again) to make a clean setup, but this checkbox never appeared. Even when I signed in through e.g Word or Excel.
In edge chromium I noticed that my accounts (just the work and/or education profiles) have issues to sync. I often get a message that there are problems with syncing or that the sync option completely lost its function, in terms of activating the sync function at all. But I think, this is more a problem on the Microsoft sync services and not that I have multiple accounts linked to my device. At this time, all edge profiles are synchronized and working but I'm just waiting for the issues to appear again...

Same issuepreuley30
Any fix available ?
- KiwiPMSep 19, 2022Copper ContributorSame here - As a IT PM working via a 3rd party, I regularly have 3 work Office 365 accounts all using TEAMs & SharePoint for document storage. Within a single hour I can be build templates (for myself), complete a proposal (for my handlers) and accessing project documents (for a project client). Ive tried using Edge's save a website as an app, which worked for a while - except the site names and icons are all the same by default - but even this has stopped working.
I've just lost another half hour trying to get into my handlers account (without any success - Firefox and edge both helpfully remember who I am and forget my id at my handlers)
Surely this isn't the norm, I feel like a noob.
Someone must know where we can find best practice guide, tips/tricks etc. YouTube, anything that might help...
