How to undo "Allow my organization to manage my device" in Microsoft Teams?

Question

Hi,

I was installing Microsoft Teams on my personal laptop for our work from home setup and logged into Teams using my work email account. I clicked 'Next' on the option "Allow my organization to manage my device." and it was too late for me to 'unclick' when I saw the 'This App Only' option. I've deleted my general credentials but now when I log back in, the prompt never comes up and just logs right in.

How can I not have my employer manage my personal computer? Is there a way I can can bring this option back up? I don't want the company managing my device as I use it for my personal transactions outside of work.

Thanks in advance for the help.

Hi Kaycee24Unicorn,

Thank you for sharing such information with us. We are highly appreciated your detailed information in our forum community.

Based on your mentioned reply, at once can we re-confirm from your side that which operating system you are using for Teams application? Is it Windows 10 or any other?

If you are using Windows 10 or if you can see this signed in email account under Windows 10 Settings > Accounts > Access work or school option, please select that signed in account and click on “Disconnect” account. It will not manage your email account on that device.

After that, sign in again on Teams application.

We hope above information will work for you.

Regards,

Darpan

Hi Kaycee24Unicorn,

Have a good day. Welcome to the Microsoft forum community. It’s our pleasure to assist you. We will try our best to provide you possible information from our end in the forum community regarding your posted issue.

As per your mentioned description, generally When user activate Office application or sign in with a new account which never signed-in on this PC, Office will have a prompt says “Allow my organization to manage my device”. If user click on yes, the credentials will exist on this PC. That means Windows will remember your account and make it easier to sign in. So, user will get this option on first login in the fresh PC.

If there is anything unclear or if we misunderstand anything wrong, please correct us and provide us some brief information or screenshot as per your convenient time for further assistant.

Hi! I am aware of this. However, since this is my personal (not work) computer, I do NOT want my organization to manage this device. I already clicked next when the question "Allow my organization to manage my device." popped up because I did not see the "This App Only" button in time. So my question is how do I make it so that my organization will not manage this device?

Well, I also have an administrator problem on my computer, but when I tried to disconnect my work account, it said it would remove my account data. What does this mean?
