Windows 10: Spear-fishing message?

I use WINDOWS 10.

Upon bootup a message appears in the lower right hand corner of the screen and is transferred to the message field, which opens when the envelope icon in the most-right position of the task bar is clicked.

The message reads as follows:

"Microsoft Account Problem

We need to fix your Microsoft account (most likely your password changed). Select here to fix it in Shared experiences settings."


By the way: I did NOT change my password.


This looks and sounds to me suspiciously like a spear-fishing message.

Could you please confirm that this is, or is not, a legitimate message from Microsoft and that it is safe to open it up.


And while you are at it: Where do a find "Shared experiences".


Thank you in advance for answering my question.


Victor Schendeler.

Groove Music: Radio Playing Brittany Spears

Hi -

I am listening to a radio station based on the artist "Explosions in the Sky". The radio is consistently playing "Oops I did it again" by Brittany Spears, but the now playing lists an artist / song appropriate for my station.

I can skip the current track, but it consistently comes back.

What is the mail with fish icon on the lock screen?

actually I'm not sure if the icon is a fish or something else. I'm sure it is a notification because the number is changing and located beside the new email notification. Is there a list of notification icons for wp7 lock screen?
