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. Sign in one more time and make sure you check the 'Remember me' box. If it keeps asking, restarting your computer fixes it.
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. In most cases this is a temporary connection hiccup that a restart clears up. If it keeps happening, it means either your password needs to be reset or there's a deeper sync issue between your computer and Microsoft.

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
