Windows 10: Stop unsolicited emails from Microsoft

I'm getting unsolicited emails from Microsoft about Windows 10. I see no option in the email or in my MS account to unsubscribe. There are no subscriptions in my Communications Centre to unsubscribe to, either. How do I get Microsoft to stop sending me these kinds of messages? A snippet of one is attached. Thanks.

I'm not using Outlook. I'm using my Tim Warner email account but open that account in Windows Live Mail. WLM Allows me to restrict unsolicited messages from being allowed to access my email and I can stop them from even being downloaded.

Hi Penny,

We do not send unsolicited email messages or make unsolicited phone calls to request personal or financial information or fix your computer.

If you receive an unsolicited email message or phone call that purports to be from Microsoft and requests that you send personal information or click links, delete the message or hang up the phone.

Go to Outlook.com and click on your account name in the top right. Then Account Settings > Security & Privacy > Account Marketing Preferences. Untick 'Send me promotional offers from Microsoft. You can unsubscribe at any time'.

 

Thanks. It was unchecked when I arrived on that page.

 

And the other one? Account Settings > Security & Privacy > More Marketing Preferences > Manage Communications > My Contact Preferences / My Newsletter Subscriptions

I've never had a situation where Microsoft doesn't respect the Marketing Preferences, so if they're all unchecked, are they actually legitimate emails coming from Microsoft and not a phishing attempt?

 

These are not "Marketing" materials in the traditional sense, so they are not considered "unsolicited". You signed up for a service and/or product and these emails are intended to help you transition to that product. That's why there is no "unsubscribe" because this is not a mailing list that will continue past the initial "Here's how to use this product" emails.
