MS Win 10 startup warning
I have noticed recently that every so often (NOT every time I start the
computer) Windows 10 Home throws up the following 'error message'. "Microsoft account problem. We need to fix your Microsoft account (your password has probably been changed). Select here to fix it in the Shared experiences settings." screen captu https://www.dropbox.com/s/y7rwvrdhvh...otice.jpg?dl=0 I have: 1- Gone to settings shared experiences, and re-typed my (recently changed) password. Settings acknowledged that the problem has been fixed. The error message goes away. However it re-appears a few days later. Same cycle again. 2- I have tryed to ignoreit. The problem does not seem to have any impact on my use of the PC. However, the re-appearance of the message every few days is annoying. How can I make the system register - for all time - my new password? Its current behaviour is reminiscent of someone with a very short attention span. Thanks |

A Google search for your term "We need to fix your Microsoft account"
brings up what appears to be the answer to your question. From a Microsoft MVP... METHOD 1: Go to Settings System Shared Experiences. Turn off Nearby Sharing and Share across devices options. METHOD 2: Log out and then log in with your local account password/ Microsoft account password again. METHOD 3: Run the Microsoft Account Troubleshooter to automatically resolve the issue. METHOD 4: Verify your identity on your Windows 10 PC. Go to Settings Accounts. You'll see a Verify your identity on this PC link, and then click Verify. Enter the details needed, and kindly wait for the security code to be sent to you. Once you receive the security code, click Next, and then enter the code. Follow the on-screen prompts to complete the verification process. |

Only later did I discovered that it was possible to use my own account. (I never use my outlook email for anything else.) Can I get Win 10 to forget my outlook email as logon? |

I never get that message, maybe because I've never had a MS account. -- 112 days until the winter celebration (Fri, Dec 25, 2020 12:00:00 AM for 1 day).

No, I do not have dual boot nor a cloned 'C:'. However, I had set the machine (desktop) to disable password login. I had to repeat that procedure as outlined he https://pureinfotech.com/remove-logi...rd-windows-10/ So far, so good. However I may regret my premature celebration, as the original problem was happening intermittently, not regularly. |

However I may regret my premature celebration, as the original problem was happening intermittently, not regularly. On the Insider, I have ignored this warning for eons. Just to see whether it would eventually break. And it did not seem to break. It merely afforded continued nagging and complaining, at various times :-) The Insider installs are the only ones using MSA account. All the rest use local accounts. I'm very careful during installs to use local accounts. It's a disease with me :-) Even if you want to use an MSA, you install with a local account *first*, then add an MSA afterwards. This allows you to set the name of your home directory properly. Paul |
