Windows 10: Regarding my Account activity...

Greetings - long story short - someone apparently from China seems to be trying to Sync my Microsoft Live account. I had this problem a couple of months ago from America, but I changed my passwords and went through a whole security check. Since September is seemed to have stopped, but it's now started up again. Is it common/uncommon for this sort of thing to happen? Is there any way Microsoft can ban the IP address they all start with 240e:378:c01: I'm getting rather 1 annoyed this is happening and 2 worried that they won't stop until they get a successful sync. Even then, I'm not sure

Remove account

I suggest you backup your personalized files first before removing the account.
To delete an account, follow these steps:

1. Press WIN + X keys and click Command Prompt (Admin) from the menu.
2. Type the following command and press Enter. Replace test with the name of your sister's account. Code:

 

New Microsoft account activity policy

Regarding the MS Account -

"Except as provided below, you must sign in to your Microsoft account at least once in a two-year period to keep your account active."

I believe that logging in and out counts as activity.
Just check on one or two items and then you're done.

My suggestion would be to do this once every 6 months, just to be safe.
