Windows 10: Should I be concerned about a potential security issue with my Microsoft account or PC, or...

Hello. Today, when I turned on my PC, I used the same pin I usually use and it seemed to open in a user other than mine, although I am the only user and there are no other profiles or users. The background picture was set to default, as was the task bar. The first program that started by itself on opening was microsoft edge, where I had to configure the settings. I had the main microsoft account logged in to PC user. After closing edge, I saw that on google chrome I had no account logged in there. Although it looked like another user I had all the apps installed but not logged in. I restarted

:)

 

Pesky dialog box "microsoft has identified a potential security"

It worked!,

Interesting that when I downgraded it this way and changed a document in my Windows PC, it transferred through Dropbox and the issue was also fixed in my Mac.
Super thanks.

Step 2:
I suggest you to create a new user account and check if the issue occurs.

Step 3:
It could also happen because of network issue. I suggest you to try with different network connection and check if it helps.
