Answer 3

Dear apppro(2)

Thank you for posting in the Microsoft community.

According to your reported error, it is due to an application in Windows repeatedly requesting to sign in to a Microsoft account, but never being able to do so that is causing the issue.

So please refer to the following fixes.

1. Check the Windows time.

You can press WIN+i to go to Settings - Time & Language - Date & Time and turn on Automatically set time zone.

2.Network problem.

You can press WIN+S to enter CMD-right click to enter as administrator:

netsh winsock reset

netsh int ip reset

ipconfig /release

ipconfig /renew

ipconfig /flushdns

Restart the computer to test.

Press WIN+R and type WSREST.

Reset the app store and restart your computer.

Answer 4

Time settings WERE ALL right.

tried your CMD thing... NO idea if it did anything.

The "notification" does NOT happen all the time. and it can happen in the middle of the day too when I AM SIGNED IN ALREADY.

Personally I think it is (NEW) Outlook which has not worked right really since day 1 but seems to be better now sort of... who knows.

I'll let you know if I get it again.

Answer 5

OK happened ONCE yesterday after I tried your suggestions.

Didn't happen this morning at start up or since.

This is NOT imo MY machine
