Windows 10: Your account settings are out of date!!

After updating Windows 10 to v2004 this happens...


Why does Mail Version 16005.13228.41011.0 keep asking me to "Fix my account" every time I reboot my laptop?


This information does not help:


https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/your-account-settings-are-out-of-date-in-mail-or-calendar-for-windows-10-4484de9e-66b2-46a9-8459-6ca1fcc110b4?wt.mc_id=wmail_acctstgserr_learn&ui=en-us&rs=en-us&ad=us


In it, one option is to...


Check your security certificate


If your password isn't the problem, you may have a certificate error. If so, you'll see a message that says, "There is a problem with the server's security certificate. The security certificate is not from a trusted certifying authority."


This error often happens when you don't use SSL to secure your email account. To fix this error, use the following steps.

1. 
   Choose Settings > Manage Accounts.
   
   
2. 
   Choose the account that's out-of-date to display the account settings dialog.
   
   
3. 
   Choose Change mailbox sync settings > Advanced mailbox settings. You may have to scroll down in the dialog to see Advanced mailbox settings.
   
   
4. 
   Check the boxes for Require SSL for incoming email and Require SSL for outgoing email and then choose Done > Save.
   

The problem here is, there is no "Advanced mailbox settings" in this version of Mail!

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
