    Being asked to prove my identity.


    Anyone else having the same problem as I seem to have, on a daily basis now I'm being tested for my identity, I have now spotted the reason, it's my VPN sending a suspicious warning to Microsoft security, no problem for me there, because it proves they're on the ball, do I have to disconnect my VPN,which I would prefer to keep running, to stop this daily boring interference, or is there another way, thanks.

    :)

    I always have to prove my identity because my pc is identified as a new one

    I have this problem since windows 10. Some apps (mostly win 10 optimized apps) stop working and I have to prove my identity by clicking a link and entering my pin. This works for maybe one or two days and I have to do it again, sometimes it stops working
    after a couple of minutes.

    Everytime I do this, my Computer (Surface pro 3) is gonna be listed as a new one with the name "PC" and if there are enough deviced registered on my account, I cant prove my identity until I remove at least one device. is there a fix for this? I already
    tried restoring windows 10 (complete restore/ delete everything) and changing my outlook password (because at first I thought it was someone else pc, but it was mine).

    Here is an image of the accounts on my computer

    Imgur

    Note: I always remove the ones with the name PC and I've never removed the "surface" since I dont know if this will remove my warranty. the desktop-9k is the same surface with the same id. But I dont know why its named like that (still the problem was even
    before the name change).

    Good surround sound headset

    I know you say you're not that guy, but stepping into the $250+ range really brings a change in build quality that might have you never having to buy another set. Otherwise, getting 6 speakers with decent sound in a headset is hard, and that's what you are asking for, and I have no suggestions, but just a bump up the list. *Stick Out Tongue Being asked to prove my identity. :p
