Windows 10: Mail Settings is out of date. Probably Due to Password Changed.

Hello,

Whenever I turn on my pc I get a notification that Mail settings is out of date. Later another notification comes up saying may be due to password has been changed. So I just open mail and click fix and it gets solved.

Then I have logged in to my Microsoft account using the old password and worked fine. Under device it shows only my PC only. Password changed date is not at all current and shows when I have changed it.

Now under activity it shows my current session in Microsoft edge and also another session in Internet explorer just 5 minutes before. But both the ip address is exactly same so is the location. But Internet explorer is not even installed in my PC.

Any help would be appreciated.

:)
