Windows keeps asking you to sign in to your Microsoft account
Windows is not remembering your password because your computer lost connection to Microsoft's servers or there's a problem with how Windows is storing your login information. Restart your computer first. If it keeps asking, sign in once with your current password and check the 'Remember me' box.
Windows uses your Microsoft account to keep your computer secure and synced with your other devices. When Windows can't authenticate your password with Microsoft's servers or there's a glitch in how it's storing your login, it keeps asking you to sign in again. This is a temporary connection hiccup that a restart clears up. If it keeps happening, your password needs to be reset or there's a deeper sync issue between your computer and Microsoft.
- ✓Check if this started after a Windows update or after you changed your password recently.
- ✓Check if other apps like OneDrive or Outlook are also asking you to sign in repeatedly.
- ✓Check if you can sign in and use your computer normally even though you have to enter your password multiple times.

Skip, I just want a technicianCommon mistakes to avoid
- Forgetting to check the Remember me box when signing in. Always check it so Windows stores your login.
- Assuming there's a problem with your computer when the real issue is your Microsoft account. The account is the source of truth.
- Signing in with a local account instead of your Microsoft account to avoid the repeated prompts. This disables OneDrive, Microsoft 365, and other cloud features.
Signs you need professional help
