    Sigh...age-old Microsoft Account Problem


    For the past month or so, both of my W10 laptops (ver. 1909) keep getting a daily notification akin to:
    >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
    Microsoft account problem. We need to fix your Microsoft account (most likely your password changed). Select here to fix it in Shared Experiences settings."
    >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
    It is suggested in forums to turn off a couple of choices in shared experiences. I have, to no effect. As it is, I just ignore the message. BTW, my computers are set to boot right up, no pw, no pin, which is how I want it.

    I have been blissfully ignoring this nag pop-up. Any new ideas on how to get rid of it? (I do use One Drive if that matters--with access on both computers and a W7 computer which is barely used).

  2. Age Not correct on Microsoft Store?

    Hi John,

    One of the possible reasons why you're getting the age limit error message is due to account discrepancies. We recommend that you check you Microsoft account profile and verify your age. Follow the steps below:

    • Go to
      account.microsoft.com
      > Sign in using your login credentials.
    • Click Your info > Select Edit your personal info.
    • Check your Birthdate and edit it if there's a need to.
    • Hit Save > Check if the issue still occurs.

    Note: Make sure that the account used in Windows Store is your Microsoft account.

    Keep us updated with the result.
