Remove Deactivated Work Or School Email Account

I have an organizational email account that has been deactivated, current guides online say the following:

"If you need to remove an account from your PC:

1. Select Start > Settings > Accounts > Access work or school .
   
2. Select the account you wish to remove, then select Disconnect
   
   ...."
   

However, the only option presented at this section is "Manage" which forwards me to my organization's page to login. The account has since been deactivated with no way to get to the next step.
I have been getting notifications from my system that "There is a problem with a work or school account click her to fix now" but obviously can't login to remove the account from the system.
Is there a work around to remove the account without logging in?

 

Remove locked account from windows - school or work account that has been deactivated

Hi peeps, this is a how-to because it took me ages to get this answer and I am sure others have this problem. I even asked windows help desk and they didn't know what to do apart from contact the admin of the school account.

So if you have a locked school or work account that keeps popping up saying you need to fix it, and the account is locked/deactivated because you have left.

This should work if you still have the account connected to apps.

Go to:

1.) Settings (or PC settings)

2.) Access work or school

3.) Click on the account, and a Manage and Disconnect button should appear.

4.) Disconnect.

If you go to the Email and accounts tab, the work/school email address should no longer be listed in the apps section. You should be able to remove it from outlook in the outlook app.

Good luck

 

School account is blocking virus and threat protection on my pc

Hi Card -

Go into Settings > Accounts > Access Work & School, find the school account to right click and Disconnect.

Now you can remove it. I would ask your school's IT desk how you can use Teams on your PC without having your personal PC's control turned over to the school. Often a school's Group Policy for a connected student's PC is the same as for the school's own computers, which is too much for most personal users. But if you can tolerate it, I'd ask them what they've done with your virus protection.

If they cannot work this out for you, then I'd not have a school account on my personal PC. If you must, then I'd shrink C to install another Windows install in a Dual Boot which you use for the school and have it's Group Policy isolated to that separate install and not on your personal one. The steps to do this are the same as for this dual boot: https://nerdschalk.com/how-to-dual-boot-windows...

Feel free to ask back any questions. If you'll post back detailed results then I may know what to suggest next, if necessary.
