Tip 2: unable to login to your Windows 365 error 1200
Example I was trying to install the Windows 365 app on my personal VR pc where I have personal Microsoft account and not my Enterprise account this actually caused some problems when I tried to login to Windows 365 app with error 1200.
The error was related to my personal onedrive, so how I solved it was a quick fix by removing onedrive under Credential Manager
Remove personal onedrive credentials
- Go to Control Panel → User Accounts → Credential Manager and open the Credentials Manager.
- Then click on Windows Credentials.
- Go to Generic Credentials and locate onedrive
- And then delete that line regarding onedrive. #note this is on your own risk, but it solved my issue.
I had a hunch it could be caused by Onedrive and the Windows 365 app, and have seen same issue with identity loops with Teams before. - Check if the error is gone when you log into Windows 365 App, this worked for me and hopefully Microsoft fix this.
