Hi @Maan Omar ,

In Windows 11, the option is only available as a local admin/local account. Regular users cannot join their accounts to Azure AD and the option will not show up if you are using a non-admin account.

If your account is already a local admin/local account, here are some other possibilities and mitigations:

• The device is already joined to on-premises Active Directory. If this is the case, you will not get the Azure AD join option because you would need to perform Hybrid Azure AD join in that case using either of the following methods:
• Configure hybrid Azure Active Directory join for federated domains
  • Configure hybrid Azure Active Directory join for managed domains You can try using below commands to join Azure AD and check the status:

      - DsRegCmd /join

         - DsRegCmd /status
   

• You can create a new offline profile and log in with that profile to join to Azure AD
• Make sure you are not using the Home edition. If you are, you will need to upgrade the edition since the Home edition cannot be joined to Azure AD

Answer 2

The answers above did not work for me, as it was not the case. What the issue was, another microsoft account was added in that device and somehow because of that account the option was removed. I removed the account, restarted the devices (2 of them) and the option appeared.
