    Mysterious Account Notification


    "You need to fix your Microsoft Account. Most likely your password has changed. Click here to fix it in Shared Experiences"


    I receive the above notification in the Notification Center 2-3 times a week. It is like a normal notification that appears in the bottom right of screen.

    - When I click, it takes me directly to Shared Experiences where there is a notice that account is normal and no action needs to be taken.

    - My password has not changed. I do not share with any other devices.

    - Strangely, the notice does not remain in the Notification Center like other notifications but disappears.

    - Scans by WD are negative for malware/spyware.

    - Thoughts ? Any similar experiences ?

    (Note: I find it unusual that MSN would use the word fix. Most notifications are worded "_____ needs attention or other grammar)

    Thanks for the reply !

    The post is similar, but more severe. My email has not been exposed and my sign in activity is correct.

    Don't use Onedrive. Disabled as I recall.

    Was your notice the same wording as above ?
