Create a Shortcut for Access Work or School Accounts section in Windows 10 settings apps. Let’s learn how to create a shortcut for Windows 10 settings apps. In this particular example, we will see something useful for Intune admins.

Windows allows you to easily add multiple user accounts to a single device, ensuring that each user can maintain their settings, documents, and applications. If you utilize the same Windows device for personal and work or school-related tasks, it is highly beneficial to connect the accounts. This streamlines accessing files, emails, apps, and information associated with each account.

Connecting your work or school account will establish a direct link to your organization, granting you access to its valuable resources. For you to connect a work or school account, your organization must support personal devices or BYOD scenarios.

You must undergo a slightly different Windows 11 Bring Your Device enrollment process. More details on Windows 11 Intune Enrollment Process.
