-Understanding these root causes will help you map out a clearer resolution path. In many cases, performing simple checks—like verifying correct usernames and valid licensing—will resolve the issue quickly. In "settings" under Shared experiences it tells me I have a problem and has a "Fix now" button, I click that and an Office 365 login prompt comes up.
+We’ll then walk you through a practical, step-by-step troubleshooting methodology. Formerly known as Office 365, Microsoft 365 is a subscription-based service from Microsoft. It includes regular updates, new features for popular Office productivity, and collaboration apps like Excel, Outlook, PowerPoint, Word, and Microsoft Teams. Despite the relatively high stability of M365’s applications, users report some bugs and other issues. If after running the Remote Connectivity Analyzer Office 365 issues are not fixed, try using Microsoft Support and Recovery Assistant. This tool should be installed on a computer as a standalone application.
-A Guide To Troubleshooting Microsoft 365 Login Issues
+ Troubleshooting Sign-In Errors on Shared Devices
+Follow the Office 365 Scope&nbsp;documentation regarding authentication and discuss with an Azure Admin which one is implementable on your environment based on the necessary requirements. Each Microsoft Office 365 activity requires a different set of permissions to be added to the Azure App Registration. To check those permissions, use the "Help" option from the context menu (right-click on the activity). Users can visit the Microsoft password reset page for work or school accounts.
+Microsoft recommends updating Windows, Microsoft Office and other software regularly. Microsoft updates are released on a regular basis and allow you to protect software against known threats, fix bugs, and so on. Let’s find out what you can do if updates are not installed automatically, and what factors can cause update issues. Reboot your system and try to launch your Outlook app after to check if the synchronization issues are solved. If you want to use Office 365 applications installed on a terminal server, you should use Office 365 Pro Plus, which supports Shared Computer Activation.
-Troubleshooting Office 365 sign-in or activation issues can be straightforward if you approach the problem methodically. By verifying the basics—correct credentials, valid license assignments, and stable network access—you’ll often fix the issue without delving into more complex solutions. Clearing cached credentials, running a repair, or using the Microsoft Support and Recovery Assistant (SaRA) can also address common local device issues. Despite its robust feature set and user-friendly design, it’s not uncommon for [[https://gitlab.innive.com/freddiebray260/homepage2007/-/issues/3|FixTechGuide support center]] end users and IT professionals to encounter sign-in and activation issues.
+After installing and running the application and entering the Office 365 account credentials, run tests to identify the problem and find the needed solution. Follow the instructions provided by the assistant to find and resolve Microsoft Office 365 problems. Sometimes, an expired license or outdated credentials are the culprit.

+What to do if Office 365 is not working?
-Step 1: Confirm Your Account Credentials
-If the license is valid and assigned correctly, the next steps involve checking network-related blocks and performing initial device-level troubleshooting.Remember, if all else fails, reaching out to Microsoft Support directly or using their official support documentation can provide tailored assistance for complex organizational setups.Rich7359 When I set this computer up I uninstalled all the OEM pre-installed stuff and started from scratch with Office that I downloaded from the Office 365 subscription site.I did see in credential that most of the Office 365 apps are using my password from about 5 weeks back, I corrected that and then opened Word then tried to login to it.Sometimes cached credentials on your device or a corrupted Office profile can lead to repeated sign-in prompts or activation failures.If we detect a problem with your account, we'll tell you what you need to do to solve the problem.I then saw in credential manager where the password reverted back to the previous one, corrected again and repeated but this time with Excel to see if same thing happened.@scott-sa-spiceworks okay, I "edited" the passwords for Office to my current one in that credential box but it did not help.
+Step 2: Check Subscription Status and License Assignments
-In this guide, we will take an in-depth look at troubleshooting and resolving common Microsoft 365 login problems so you can keep your business running smoothly. For more advanced or persistent cases, reviewing Azure AD sign-in logs, double-checking MFA setups, or investigating Conditional Access policies may be necessary. And if your environment is particularly security-conscious, keep in mind that policy-based blocks on specific devices or geographic regions can also interfere with Office activation. If you’ve tried all these steps and still can’t resolve the sign-in or activation errors, you may need more advanced troubleshooting. Sometimes cached credentials on your device or a corrupted Office profile can lead to repeated sign-in prompts or activation failures.
+Errors may occur if OneNote for Windows 10 is in use, as the University does not support OneDrive under its Microsoft Office 365 license. If you receive any messages about signing up for a&nbsp;trial or subscribing after your trial has ended, it is possible your University of Minnesota license was not activated. Microsoft Office 365 may also be using OneDrive as the default file save location. Another fix that can work is simply to remove the synced account from Outlook, and add it again.

-I think I’m going to try what I mentioned in my last post and see what happens. It works well for Outlook unless the user has a gigantic mailbox and then it just takes a while for it all to sync up. We have our subscription through Rackspace and I’ll see if they can help later this afternoon as that is who MS referred me to when I sought support help from them. Brandon Herring I still have one more install available on my office profile, thanks for asking. This is getting more than a little annoying as no one else in the office seems to be having the issue.

-Rich7359 &amp; @scott-sa-spiceworks I had another user login and the does not exist with that user so I know the issue is profile related. I did see in credential that most of the Office 365 apps are using my password from about 5 weeks back, I corrected that and then opened Word then tried to login to it. I then saw in credential manager where the password reverted back to the previous one, corrected again and repeated but this time with Excel to see if same thing happened. It did, so then I deleted that entry from credential manager, rebooted but that did not help. Other times, it might be network problems, conflicting versions of Office, or organizational security policies that block the authentication process.

-If the issue persists, Microsoft has created a dedicated tool called Microsoft Support and Recovery Assistant (SaRA) to automate many troubleshooting tasks. If you’re confident your credentials are correct and the sign-in still fails, proceed to the next step for deeper inspection of license status and subscription details. A good idea would be to delete profile or alternatively to create a new user profile and try to login to O365 account.

+Start with the basics and move toward more advanced methods only if necessary. Return to point 5 for more info and troubleshooting on authentication types. Most of these situations are happening when they are inputted as variables or arguments and are generated by config files or GetAsset activities.
