I keep getting an issue after logging on with a pop up message
appearing saying there is a problem with my account. On acting on the
message up comes a window repeating the message and a button to fix
the problem. On pressing the fix button I am asked to input my PIN
again, the same one I have already typed in to log in. Entering the
pin solves the problem for a while but after a few log ins the same
happens again. Is there a cure or is it something I have to live with?

I get something very like this too, I suspect it might be because I have
two different "outlook" emails as well as an MS account for my Office
subscription, and something is getting confused somewhere. Periodically,
I try to align the accounts and then give up in despair.

Did you ever sign up to a "free" Office 365 account with one set of user
name and password

and then

later sign up for a Paid Office365 account?

Windows 10 then gets into a tizzy about the two Office 365 accounts,
particularly if one of them is linked to yoru Windows 10 account at MS.


Last year I upgraded (if you can call it that) to an OEM version of Win 10 and also bought a new version of Office , the home version. I have never taken up any sort of Office 365. Since retiring I have hardly needed Office and only use my laptop for very limited purposes so could not justify the costs of Office 365.
