Fix Microsoft Entra ID Intune Automatic Enrollment Sign-In Loop
Question details
The user is experiencing a continuous sign-in loop at the "Select an account" screen when attempting to join a Windows 10 device to Microsoft Entra ID using Intune automatic enrollment.
- Product
- Microsoft Intune and Entra ID
- Device & OS
- Windows 10
- Scenario
- Joining a device to Microsoft Entra ID and setting up Intune automatic enrollment during Windows setup or standard device registration.
- Observed behavior
- The system enters an endless sign-in loop at the account selection step, preventing the device from successfully enrolling in Intune or joining Entra ID.
Verify that your Windows 10 device is updated to the latest version and ensure the user account has both Azure AD Premium and Microsoft Intune licenses assigned before proceeding.
Consult the Microsoft Intune Support Forum
Because this sign-in loop involves complex enrollment policies and Entra ID restrictions, posting to the dedicated Microsoft Q&A forum is the most effective way to get specialized assistance.
This issue is typically related to Intune and Microsoft Entra enrollment configurations rather than standard account problems. Intune specialists can directly review your specific enrollment restrictions, authentication policies, and device registration status.

Check your Microsoft Endpoint Manager admin center to ensure that Mobile Device Management (MDM) scopes are properly configured and not blocking enrollment.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why does my Windows 10 device loop at 'Select an account' during Intune enrollment?
This sign-in loop typically occurs due to conflicting Mobile Device Management (MDM) and Mobile Application Management (MAM) user scopes in Azure AD, misconfigured enrollment restrictions, or a lack of proper Intune licensing for the user.
Do I need a specific license for Microsoft Intune automatic enrollment?
Yes, for automatic enrollment to function correctly, the user attempting to enroll the device must be assigned a Microsoft Entra ID Premium (P1 or P2) license as well as a valid Microsoft Intune license.
Can this Entra ID sign-in loop happen during the Windows Out-Of-Box Experience (OOBE)?
Yes, if Intune automatic enrollment is configured but fails to process due to backend policy or licensing issues, the device can enter an endless account selection loop during the initial Windows OOBE setup.
Where is the best place to get support for Intune and Entra ID enrollment issues?
The most effective platform for resolving these complex IT policies is the Microsoft Intune Q&A forum on Microsoft Learn, which is actively monitored by dedicated Intune specialists.
