Your icloud settings are out of date

Hi Sol,

You might need to login to your iCloud account in order for this to be resolved. May we know if you've enabled two-factor authentication on your iCloud account? If so, you'll need to generate an app-specific password to add your iCloud account to the Mail
app. Kindly follow these steps:

1. Sign in to your Apple ID account page.
2. Select Generate Password below App-Specific Passwords.
3. Follow the instructions on your screen.

If the issue persists, you may also try the suggested solutions on this
support article.

If you have additional questions, or if the issue persists after the troubleshooting steps above, please let me know by replying to this thread. This way, I'll get notified and respond back to you as soon as I can.

Hi,

Conflicts with your account settings is one of the possible reasons why you are having the out-of-date account settings issue. If you've enabled the two-factor authentication on your iCloud account, you'll need to generate an app-specific password to add
your iCloud account to the Mail app.

• Sign in to your
  Apple ID account page.
• Select Generate Password below App-Specific Passwords.
• Follow the instructions on your screen.

'iCloud account settings are out of date' notification in Windows 10.

Hello Radi,

Thank you for posting your concern in Microsoft community and welcome to the Windows 10 Family.

To be able to understand the issue better, let us know a few more details on the below question.

• Is the iCloud email set up in Windows Mail App?
• Do you receive the iCloud Notification only when you open/access the Mail App in Windows or any other associated e-mail client program in your computer?

Now, if you turn off a service in iCloud for Windows, your data won't automatically be kept up to date in iCloud, and you won't see updates made on your other devices. This might lead to a conflicting situation and the message/notification
'iCloud account settings are out of date' might appear. So, kindly check if the sync settings are correct.

• Go to Start > All Apps, and open iCloud for Windows.
• Enter your Apple ID to sign in to iCloud.
• Choose the features and content that you want to keep up to date across your devices.

Write to us with the updated status and the required information for us to be able to assist you further.
