Security Pop Up......

Recently, on all three of my computers (1 desktop, 2 laptops) I have been receiving the dialog box shown below.

The problem is (a) I haven't entered an incorrect PIN too many times, because I haven't entered my PIN at all; and (b) I don't understand why this keeps popping up - I have my computers all set to boot automatically without entering any password and/or PIN.

Is this something I need to be concerned about?  How do I get this dialog box to stop showing up?

Thank you.  I look forward to hearing from someone.

    Hi,

    There are several possible reasons why the Windows security keeps on popping up. This may include the settings on your computer or a corruption within the user profile. In order for us to efficiently assist you, we just have a few questions for you:

    1. Were there any changes made to your computers prior to the issue?
    2. Are your computers connected to a secured network?
    3. When does the pop up usually appear? Is it when booting up or when launching an application?
    4. Have you tried using the "Use a method not listed here" option?

    Regards.
