Microsoft Websites Sign In with Wrong Account by Default

Any time I try to sign into a Microsoft website with my Microsoft account, it defaults to my school account rather than my personal one. Sometimes I click "sign in" and it brings me to the page for choosing an account to sign into, the only option is my school account, leaving me to choose "sign in with another account" and put my email in manually. Sometimes when I click "sign in" it just automatically logs me into my school account and I have to go back to the sign in button to change. Sometimes it seems to just sign me into my school account automatically.

I made a post on the Microsoft Forum about the topic and was told it was most likely a browser issue. I've looked through my saved passwords but didn't find any clues to the issue, perhaps it's related to cookies? But I haven't much confidence clearing them would solve things as this issue has persisted over full OS reinstallations.

The only place I've actually entered the login information for my school account was signing into Outlook, while my personal account I only logged into manually on... some other Microsoft platform, perhaps the account management page. The password for my personal account is remembered, but the data entry forms never autofill; after I type in the email manually it just instantly signs me in.

Thanks.
