Windows 10: Why can't I stop a message from showing up asking if I want to remain signed-in to my...

I use a local account, but on occasions like when I want to sign-in to my outlook.com email, or something I'll go to

https:\\account.microsoft.com/account and sign-in with my microsoft account.


As of this past week a windows message started appearing whenever I'm sign-in asking me

if I want to stay signed-in so I don't have to sign-in again next time. There are two selections to choose - Yes or No


I've always used a security key to do this that I set up a long time ago when Edge could be set up using a security key to sign-in to their Microsoft account. It's worked flawlessly without this annoying message ever popping up.


No matter how many time I've selected the box that says "Do no show this again" and select "No", the message

will appear again when I sign-in.


I haven't changed any security or privacy settings so that can't be a reason.


Could this have possibly something to do with Edge Chromium ? I set up the security key when only the legacy Edge browser was available.

How do you stop this message ?

My hello sign in stopped working.

Hi,

This problem that started after installing the last Windows update might be caused by outdated or corrupted device drivers. For us to better assist you, we'll be needing additional information:

• Are you pertaining on Windows Hello sign-in? If yes, does it mean that the facial recognition is not working?
• Is there an error message displayed when using Windows Hello?

Meanwhile, it is better to check the status of Windows Hello sign-in option in your computer. To check the Windows Hello status, follow these steps:

• Click the Start button and select the Settings
  icon.
• Choose Accounts from the list.
• Select Sign-in options in the left pane of the window.
• Under Windows Hello, kindly check the status of it.

As an initial troubleshooting step, we suggest keeping the device drivers like camera driver up-to-date. For your reference, check this article on how to
update drivers in Windows 10.

We'll keep an eye out for your response.

 

How to troubleshoot an error that appears only at Restart or Sign out?

I get an error pop-up error message not every, but almost every time I Restart or Sign out. It's the screen with blue background and on top of Restart or Sign out text an error window says:

Explorer.exe - Application error. The instruction at 0x000… referenced memory at 0x000... The memory could not be written.

Sometimes the error code is just zeros, sometimes random numbers. I have tried so much already to troubleshoot this. For example these did not help in any way:

• MemTest86+ (no problems)
• Disabling any Services, Autoruns/ShellExView entries
• Low resolution mode
• BIOS settings are fine, no overclocking etc.
• DISM.exe and sfc
• etc.

However, these do make the error go away:

• End process for explorer.exe before Restart or Sign out
• Safe Mode
• Creating a new user profile (almost the same as clean installing Windows, many full days of work)
• Uninstalling NVIDIA graphics driver (then the card is unusable, of course)
• Disabling Device Manager / Display Adapters / NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080

I already contacted NVIDIA and the graphics driver is not the culprit. Something has gone wrong with the user profile as the same driver works just fine in a new profile (and there's nothing wrong with the driver anyway, it's just the Restart or Sign out process that has a problem).

What can I do to fix this? One useful thing would be to have a step-by-step procedure for the Sign out. So that it'd ask before continuing to the next step and list what it's doing. Or if I could just disable whatever it does when the error appears.
