Windows 10: I can't verify my account, but only in the Windows search bar

Whenever I click into the search bar at the bottom of the Windows 11 home screen on my Surface Book, I get a message that says, "To verify your work results, please verify your account." I cannot. I have used every combination of email addresses and passwords I can find. Nothing works. I used my primary login and password to sign into the community. I signed out of Word and back into it, and my login and password worked fine. It's only the search bar notification that isn't working. It's making me crazy. Please help.

Search Bar/Cortana

Hello,

Thank you for posting your concern here in Microsoft Community and welcome to the Windows 10 family.

From the description, I understand that you are still receiving the pop up notifications, despite having disabled the search functionality in windows 10.

Steps to disable the Search Bar

• Right click on the task bar.
• Select the "Search" option.
• Select "Disable."

However, if the above steps don't work out, perform the below suggested steps and check if it helps to resolve the issue.

Open a CMD window started as Administrator.

Repair corruption: Dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth.

Run this command next: Sfc /scannow

Now run these two commands:

PowerShell -ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted

Get-AppXPackage -AllUsers |Where-Object {$_.InstallLocation -like "*SystemApps*"} | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml"}

Hope the above information was helpful.

Thank You.
