Can't log in "Previous sign-in interrupted" error
As it says above ... Can't log in "Previous sign-in interrupted" error.
Any help appreciated.
It's a business account if that makes any difference.

I'm having the same issue with signing into the desktop app and getting the "Previous sign in interrupted" error.
I'm on Windows 10 v22H2. I just got a brand new laptop so the app has not been previously installed. Don't have this issue on my old laptop.
I've tried uninstallting and reinstalling the app. Cleared cache. Restarted the computer.
I've tried logging in using Chrome and Edge.
Early releases tab is turned off.

I am getting the exact same error on Windows 10 Pro. Happens with chrome or Edge. Sign in on the web works just fine. I cannot get the app to complete the process. No early release enabled.
