My MS Account needs attention, again

I just ignore it and get on with my work.

I have had the same problem with the "Fix" showing in the update Windows window. I run a triple boot system with 3 SSD's each with a different OS: Win 7 HP 64 bit, Win 8.1 pro, and Win 10 build 10166.
My Fix: UNPLUG ALL DRIVES EXCEPT FOR WIN 10 AND REBOOT WITH THE WIN 10 DRIVE AS THE DEFAULT.
This works for me. Let us know if it works for you.
Have a great day.

Shut off your PC and let it sit for about 1 minute and then turn it back on. This worked for me but YMMV.

I managed to crash it at the Fix Me stage (with an MSA that is an Insider and verified).



It's possible that it's related to MS suspending some of the Insider functions like activation, I guess.

@DavidY

I would get the 10166 iso build before they disable the download. You can upgrade using the iso as well. If I understand that info 10162 will no longer activate, they didn't say anything about 10166 not being able to activate.

Thanks Gary & jm44jg39, I'll wait for the final release as it doesn't bother me.

Or is there? Has anyone overcome this absurd bit of crap programming short of a clean reinstall? (Which is what I had to do last time it cropped up.) If you all can help me get it sorted, I'd be most grateful... I really do not want to do another clean install. In fact, it might be the end of my participation in the Insiders Program.

Is this still an issue for you? I am getting this too, on both my machines, happens every now and again, perhaps triggered by MS updates.

Suggestion, try switching off Nearby Sharing, in Settings >Shared Experiences.
