    Why do create a new account require email for Win 10?


    Win10 is pre-installed for my new notebook, for the first time to create user, Win 10 does not require any email, but after I reset factory setting and install Win 10, it requires email for new account. I would like to know on how to create user without requiring email for Win 10.

    Does anyone have any suggestions?
    Thanks in advance for any suggestions

    :)

    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.
