I have tried troubleshooting this the best I could. Added new profile, remove office cache, ran both quick repair and online repair. Tried to repair on the email account in account settings but repair is not an option. Opened Word and signed out, restarted workstation and then signed back in. Error only happens in Outlook.

I am able to sign on another device with the same credentials and I have no issue.

    Hi @Aaron Larson ,

    I understand that you have attempted some troubleshooting and from my research this is a known issue, and the Microsoft 365 team is investigating the issue by analyzing logs provided by some affected users.

    Some of the scenarios that receive the error Something went wrong [1001] are related to security software causing impact on the WAM plug-in (AAD.BrokerPlugin). For more information, see: Can't sign in to Microsoft 365 desktop applications.

    If this issue continues, please open a support ticket in the M365 Admin Portal.
