Windows 10: Session timed out security info replacement

I forgot my PIN on my Windows 10 laptop, so I tried to reset it, the security info that was linked was old so I replaced it with a Gmail account, I thought I had to wait 30 days, but I recently found 3 emails from the Microsoft account team yes it was really from Microsoft, not a phishing account that says to click on a link to continue replacing security info, when I click on the URL and enter my Live email address it gives me an error saying that my session has timed out. I tried signing out and in multiple times with no luck. Is there anything I can do other than wait 30 days?

Hi Samuwella,

Sorry for the loss, not to worry we will try our best to assist you with the issue you are facing with Windows 10 account security.

Lets follow the below steps to fix the issue with Windows 10.

1. We Suggest you to refer to the below article on "Get back into your Microsoft account if it's been compromised".
How to recover a hacked or compromised Microsoft account - Microsoft Support

2. Also refer to the below article on "How do I replace my security info"?

3. Two-step verification helps protect you by making it more difficult for someone else to sign in to your Microsoft account. It uses two different forms of identity: your password, and a contact method (also known as security
info). Even if someone else finds your password, they'll be stopped if they don't have access to your security info.

Refer the steps in the link :

GPUz Incorrect Info GF117

I've got the GT620M in a Zenbook and the newest version of GPUz has it listed as a 40nm part whereas all other info on the web suggests its 28nm. Can you investigate, W1z?

Thanks

 

Security Info replacement

Hi, I have changed my security info. Now on my windows phone I can't even download any apps or view my onedrive.

It keeps popping up the "Change anything? .... " and the "Next" button is always greyed out. can't even proceed. Do I really need to wait 30days after I change any security info to do anything? How can I solve this issue?

thanks
