Work or School account still affecting some aspects of PC after being disconnected

After i disconnected my computer from my work or school account and went to change my pin it still says i have to follow my organizations complexity requirements.

Hhm... it looks like you might still have an application installed that is logged into that account.

This is btw the reason I am always very careful when helping people set up that kind of account on their personal devices. Luckily on Linux, I never had any of those issues and I haven't downloaded any of those apps and just used the web-versions (which is what I would recommend as well btw, whenever possible). Do never log in using a work/school-provided Micro$oft account, as that exact thing can happen... You might actually have to reinstall to fix this issue.

Thanks, I have to use the desktop versions of PowerPoint and teams for school projects because of certain features that are not available. Tbh I don't mind most of the features it gives its just the constant password changing which is annoying. I'm not quite arsed to switch to Linux at the moment and run all that in a VM but thanks anyway.

Yeah, so if you still have one of those programs on your PC, this will be the reason

What I will recommend, is uninstalling all those apps, checking again, and removing all microsoft accounts bar your own personal one, then reinstall the apps making sure that you uncheck the "Let my organisation manage my device" checkbox

I'll have a go at that
