Prevent 'Use This Account Everywhere on Your Device' Screen When Installing Office 365 ProPlus

When you install Office 365 ProPlus, you may be presented with a screen which says “Use this account everywhere on your device”. This can be confusing for users.

Hide This Screen

This screen can be hidden by preventing Azure AD device registration via the registry:

HKLM\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WorkplaceJoin
"BlockAADWorkplaceJoin"=dword:00000001

This registry key takes effect immediately and does not require a reboot. You won’t see the screen again.

What the Screen Does

Users have 4 options:

• Yes — registers the device in Azure AD
• Untick and click Yes — remembers credentials without device registration
• Close (cross) — skips, may prompt again
• This app only — skips just for this app

If a device gets registered in Azure AD, an administrator can block access to that tenant if the device is lost. It does not allow remote wipe or management unless Intune MDM is also configured.
