On my computers, I never connected Microsoft Office to my login and such. I was asked if I had, when, at one point, my laptop locked me out and refused to accept my password (which I KNEW was the correct one). I brought it to the shop and they "fixed" it, after asking me if I had my login linked to Office, which I didn't.

Now, since one recent Windows update, I notice that my Outlook SEEMS to be logged in, although I have a Login button in Word, or Excel.

On my Outlook, if I click on that icon with my initials, I am directed to https://login.microsoftonline.com/ where I am asked to sign in (so am I logged in or not??)

I have Windows 10, and Office 2019.

I don't want/need my Office programs to be linked to any Microsoft online things. Can I /Should I do something to NOT have anything associated with it?

Thanks.
