Hi DHYANESHWARAN PARAMASIVAM

Based on my research, situations like this are often resolved by clearing the Windows Credential Cache, as outdated or corrupted stored credentials can sometimes interfere with Microsoft 365 applications. 

With that in mind, you may try the following: 

1. Open Control Panel. 
2. Select User Accounts. 
3. Open Credential Manager. 
4. Select Windows Credentials. 
5. Remove any Microsoft 365, Office, Outlook, or related credentials that may be listed. 

Once completed, please restart your device, launch the application again, and check whether the issue persists. 

I hope this provides some additional insight. If you have any updates, please feel free to share them here.
