    Why does windows asks for my "most recent credentials" so often?


    Hi guys,

    From time to time windows for some reason, asks for my most recent credentials. I just click on it in the action center, it goes to my account settings and then it disappears as a problem all together. Why?

    This is not some issue I'm facing that's not allowing me to do some work on my laptop or anything of that sort but is getting fairly annoying.

    Thanks,

    Have a Great Day,

    M

    :)

  2. Lost Access to Windows 10

    Have been running Windows 10 successfully since August. About a week ago Microsoft Edge and Mail icons disappeared from bottom screen bar and also unable to select Windows Desktop. Have a System Security message to "enter my most recent credentials" but
    "sign box" does not function.

    " Waiting for approval " until when !????

    It means that it's waiting for approval from your operator and it has nothing to do with Nokia.

    You could call your operator and ask about this approval, someone in technical service may know that how long it takes to approve the newest firmware. (For some reason, every operator has to approve the firmware updates and only after that their clients
    can do the update)

    Hi Brink!

    Did the above. And restarted. To which my Disk activity went up to 95% for a good 5 minutes. I guess we can attribute that to new profile generation right?

    Hopefully that solves it, and I don't get the annoying popups anymore. *Smile

    Oh, Why can't Microsoft actually make something that's - bug free - Why does windows asks for my "most recent credentials" so often? :)
    Thanks!
