I cannot log into Word. It asks for a login but it will not recognize my office personal account. It keeps telling me it cannot find a Work or School account with that email. My personal laptop keeps attempting to recognize me from my Azure work profile. I have removed every trace of my work account from my personal device. I have followed all of the recommended steps to do a clean uninstall of office and I have attempted to remove all trace of office. When I try to activate office using my product key it tells me that the process is blocked by my administrator.

    Hello

    This is on Windows 11 platform right?

    On your personal account, do you have a subscription too? Verify that via https://account.live.com > Subscriptions.

    Can you also confirm, by any chance, your personal account alias is using the work email address?

    I have done all of the steps above EXCEPT contact my administrator. This is a personal computer and I am the only user. There is no administrator. I have even attempted to open word AS an administrator but since it is not activating my license I cannot do anything in any office app.
