Hi ThisIsSoCool,
I understand how frustrating it can be to see a Microsoft sign-in screen appear every time you start your laptop.
Before suggesting additional troubleshooting, when the sign-in screen appears, is it:
- The normal Windows sign-in screen asking for your password or PIN?
- A Microsoft account prompt asking you to sign in to a service such as OneDrive, Microsoft 365, or Microsoft Edge?
- A window that appears after you have already signed in to Windows?
Based on your description, one possible cause is that a Microsoft app is configured to automatically prompt for account sign-in at startup. As a quick test, you can check whether the prompt is being launched by a startup application:
- Press Ctrl + Shift + Esc to open Task Manager.
- Select the “Startup” tab.
- Look for Microsoft-related apps such as OneDrive or Microsoft 365.
- Temporarily disable one of them, restart the PC, and check whether the prompt still appears.
