Hate updates that pop up new stuff. When I did updated last time just over a week ago, when I go to sign in with password a message pops up asking to go to app store to now access. I do not want to jump through hoops to use computer. "Change the password requirement setting to "Off."Under Sign-in options, you’ll find various login methods. Look for the "Password" section.

Simplifying updates for Windows 7 and 8.1

Just experienced this myself. I wanted to download the update because this is a massive problem and fresh installs of Windows 7 are still in my future. I don't have a problem using IE11 but...
1. I add the download to my cart.
2. Click on basket.
3. Click on download.
4. Window pops up asking to browse for folder.
5. Click on it, UAC pops up demanding admin password. "No problem," I thought.
6. Enter admin password. Nothing happens.
7. Close window and repeat steps 3-6. Getting frustrated now.
8. Right-click and select refresh.
9. Repeat steps 4-6.
10. WTF?
11. Come to the sad realization I'll have to sign off and sign in as the admin account just to download a file.
12. Give up.

Terrible indeed. I'll have to do it eventually though. *Frown

Attention Required: Windows Live 2 password is incorrect

Hi PIUPZ,



Thanks for Posting to the Microsoft Answers forums! In addition to the steps Jay provided, one other suggestion I want to call out before resetting your phone is to check if Two Step Verification has been enabled on your Microsoft account.

• Log in to https://account.live.com
• Click on Security info under Overview

Under the section Two-step verification, if you see that you are given the option to Set up two-step verification, please enable it the disable it (or leave it enabled if you prefer). If you see a link Turn off two-step verification, you will need to
create an app password to enter in on your phone:

• Click on Create a new app password under App passwords
• Enter your app password in the password field

After reviewing these settings, go back to the phone and manually sync your account (and update your password if necessary). You can sync the account by tapping
Settings > Email + Accounts then tap and hold your account for the
Sync option.



I hope this helps, please let us know if you have any further questions!



Regards,

Greg
