Description

What happened?

User logged into Windows is used automatically for SSO resulting in permission error in an app without option to select different Microsoft account. I'd need to prevent SSO from getting windows logon or clearing windows user information so that user can logon to MS account manually.

Importance

Blocking. My app's basic functions are not working due to this issue.

Repro steps

Now you are told you don't have permission and can't use any other account.

Research direction

No source file or test is named. Start by reproducing the WebView2 SSO flow in a Win32 app on Windows 10 using the listed steps, then investigate how the Windows login is selected; done means a user can choose a different Microsoft account when company SSO rejects the automatically selected one.
