Answer 1

First, can you please go to Settings > Accounts > Access Work or School, and make sure there's no work/school email address listed there, or no mentioning of Azure AD. If there is, please click on it and then click on disconnect. Then restart the computer and see if it is resolved.

If not, or if nothing is listed there, please type cmd in the search on the taskbar and make sure you select "Run As Administrator" to launch Command Prompt.

Then run the following command and hit enter:

gpupdate /force /boot

Restart the computer and see if it helps. If not, launch Command Prompt in Admin mode again and run the following commands, one at a time. Not all of them will go through completely or value can be found, and that's ok. Once finished, restart the computer again and see if it works.

reg delete "HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies" /f
reg delete "HKLM\Software\Microsoft\WindowsSelfHost" /f
reg delete "HKLM\Software\Policies" /f
reg delete "HKLM\Software\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\Policies" /f
reg delete "HKLM\Software\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies" /f
reg delete "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows Defender" /v DisableAntiSpyware
reg delete "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies" /f
reg delete "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\WindowsSelfHost" /f
reg delete "HKCU\Software\Policies" /f
reg delete "HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Policies" /f
