Keep getting desktop msg: "Fix MS account for apps on other devices to be able to launch apps & continue experiences on this device". My settings seem ok - what should I do? A second problem:Opening my WLMail brings up a box "To help protect your account information, please sign in again" Options to check are "OK" or "Cancel". Either option removes the box - but I don't want it to come up all the time. Do you have a fix?

Hi Texas,
Basically you just need to log in once using your Microsoft Account Password, and possibly verify too.
You can still use a Local User Account afterwards. It's just Microsoft needs to verify its really you per se so some background apps can carry on doing their thing.
For a better explanation about this (including steps to remedy), there is a reasonable article here by Kapil Sparks:
