Windows 10: When I open email get account settings are out of date.

Email notice states your account settings are out of date. When I try to open fix window just get a continuous string of dots moving across screen. If I wait flowing dots never stop. How do I fix this?

Unauthorized Emails from my account?

It is more than likely that your email account was hacked, either by a virus sniffing your password, or just simply hacked.

Either way, change your password on your email account. Unfortunately the damage by already be done. They already have your contact list and your email address associated with that contact list. There is nothing stopping them from sending out emails using their own SMTP servers to everyone on your contact list and claiming the emails are from your email address. They don't actually have to have access to your yahoo account or even any yahoo server to send emails to people that come from your address.

 

Settings can't be opened using the built-in administrator account


Hello,
Unfortunately I have the same issue as Dabz from upgrading win7 to win10.
I've tried opening settings using all the suggested methods and it will not load using my account with Administrator access nor the built-in Administrator profile. I also tried other methods not listed such as using Run. Control panel is just a stepping stone to add users in Settings.
I'm also having explorer.exe issues, which I believe is preventing Settings from loading.
Using cmd (Admin) I successfully created a new user profile [and granted admin access also using cmd (Admin)], however win10 will not allow this account to log on. win10 does not list this new user within control panel but it does in the start menu. win10 will not allow to log in or switch to the new account via the start menu either.
I can access settings in Safe Mode but this will not allow me to create a new account.
Any help/suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
Cheers

 

email account is out of date problem

Hi,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



I appreciate the efforts taken by you in resolving the issue. I understand that you are receiving an error that the email account settings are out of date. I’ll certainly assist you with the issue.



However, please let us know:

• When you say “when I go to verify them there is a password that I did not enter”, may I know the verify section that you are referring?
  
• Are you aware of any changes made to the computer prior to this issue?
  

I would suggest you to refer the troubleshooting steps mentioned in the article

Your account settings are out-of-date in Mail or Calendar for Windows 10 and see if that helps.




Let us know the results, we will be glad to help you further.
