Windows 10: Fix Account, Yet Again

Let's try this again. I've looked at threads that address this problem, none of which as far as I can tell actually provide a usable answer. On top of that, most of the threads are locked. I guess this is because nobody at M$ knows the answer, and they don't want to deal with it anymore.



This problem started with me either when I installed v1803 or when I created a M$ account, which I believe occurred in that order. Maybe this will tell somebody something. And this occurs whether 'Share across devices' is on or off. Also, I have only one device, my desktop. Also, I went through the verification process, and obviously that didn't fix the problem.



The first image is the message I get from Windows, pretty much every day. Fixing it in Settings 'fixes' nothing on a permanent basis; Windows just keeps giving me the message.





The second image is what I see when I get to 'Shared experiences'. After going through the 'fix' process I get the third image. Then, it starts all over again.







Now, I haven't done anything wrong, and I'm not going through a bunch of trial-and-error nonsense hoping that it works. M$ has had enough time to find the problem and fix it. How 'bout an actual solution this time?



Thanks (probably for nothing).
