    Stop "Microsoft Account Problem" Notification


    Daily, I am getting a Notification that says:

    "Microsoft Account Problem
    Select here to sign in to your Microsoft account to continue using apps between this device and your other devices"

    I use a Local Account.

    I rarely log in to my MS account. I also do not use any apps between devices.
    How do I turn this notification off?

    Related: I recently logged into the Microsoft Store to research Windows 11 purchase. These notifications began after doing that.

    I did not think of that. Thanks!
    #2 was checked. I unchecked it now. I'll see if I get another notification tomorrow.

    So... an update

    I tried: Settings > System > Shared Experiences > Share Across Devices > OFF
    No Good N/G

    Note: On that settings page, in red, "Some of your account require attention" > Fix Now button > bring me to the Microsoft Account login page > Nope > hard to leave, keeps asking for username and password when I click X. takes a few cycles for it to quit.
    Persistent little MS buggers.

    Today tried something new: Accounts > Sync Your Settings > Sync Settings > OFF
    Let's see if that does anything.

    Background:
    I rarely if ever access my Microsoft Account for anything. But a few weeks ago I wanted to see if I could buy Windows 11 directly from MS from the Microsoft Store. This behavior started after that mistake.

    In Windows Settings switch Off or configure Focus assist.

    Log on to your MS Account and go thru the Settings > View all Outlook settings, which is scores of pages.

    The facilities and T&C of a MS Account change over time and if you don't attend to these things there is a tendency to get notifications when they make changes.

    Thanks
    Focus Assist was OFF already.
    I'll log in again and see if there is anything I can shut off.
    I don't use Outlook ever, so would I still have settings there?

    An Update:
    This annoying message was cleared simply by logging in to the Microsoft Account from the PC that was displaying the message.
    Previously I had logged in from a browser. This is (evidently) not the same thing as logging in from the PC: Start > Settings > Accounts > Email & Accounts.
    I logged in and logged out and that was all that was needed. There is no longer "a problem with my account".

    What an annoying nag.
