I use several profiles on Windows with a mix between Microsoft logins and local accounts. It's a pain because Microsoft seems to design everything with the idea that every PC is a personal device for a single person with a single account.
IIRC Office has switched from machine based activation to user based activation. Microsoft thinks I should buy 4 MS365 subscriptions because I like to silo things with a few different profiles (ex: entertainment vs development). That's not going to happen. Instead of buying 1, I buy 0 and use alternatives even if they're not quite as good because I can't pay 4x to maintain compatibility between my own damn profiles.
