Windows 10: My annoying M/S account prompt

Quite often in the notification area, I get a prompt about my M/S Outlook account, and as far as I know, it was closed weeks ago as I requested it so.

Keep getting e-mails saying Craiglist full from an unknown source on my PC.

Hi, I`m using a Chrome Browser.

The e-mails; read, 'Craiglist full', as i explained i got given a laptop and decided to use it for reference pictures being an artist. So now i`m getting e-mails from his account; on my PC!! No
it does not show any subscription content, it`s just annoying!

Thanks for your assistance. M Ritchie

 

M/S Account passwowds. Comp sign in only allows PIN. When I try Cloud M/S says I must change password

This is now at the place where I need to reset ALL my M/S passwords to just one like B4 win10.
Seems like there should be a relatively simple (?) solution for this. Sometimes I get a notice at my desktop to fix my M/S account that is referring to my M/S Cloud account that says I must change my M/S password so other M/S accounts will work properly
(?) I have no idea what this is all about. The rest of the computer seems to be working ok, boot times etc.

Computer is a 3yr old HP Pavilion AIO 64bit

 

Hello Again.

Are you using you're Microsoft Account?
Do you log on with a Microsoft Account?
Does any part of that message affect what you do?

You could switch to a local account - not use the MSA

as I said in my post, my account is closed, I hardly ever used it when open, and no, it does not stop me doing anything, but I dont like pop ups/remindrs etc, if they can be prevented.;

 

Hello frecnhman96, *Smile

You may have closed your MSA, but did you switch to a local account on your PC, or are you still using the MSA?

If you are still using the MSA on the PC to sign in to Windows 10 or the Store, then that is why you are getting this message.

So solution is to do what please?

 

First, you will need to determine if you are still signing into Windows 10 with the same Microsoft account (MSA) that you closed.

If so, then switching to a local account as nt62 posted above should stop this for you.

In addition, double check that you are also not signing into any other device (ex: Windows 10 Mobile phone) with this closed MSA.

 

In anticipation of your suggestion, I went to user account, c/on the option" open in local accout).

It signed me out, restarted, but problem still there?

 

Sign out of the Store as well to see if that may help.

You need to take me through that procedure please, as I seem to be in my local account ok

 

If you don't see your MSA while doing step 2 in OPTION ONE of the tutorial above, then you are not signed in to the Store with your MSA.

 

So, although it seems that I am using a local account, why/how am I still getting that prompt

 

Are you signed in to the Store with the MSA?

 

Sorry, but I dont know what you mean
