The "You need to fix your Microsoft account" notification pops up every 10 minutes with the new Anniversary Update. This notification appears because I am not signed into my Microsoft account. I do not wish to sign into my Microsoft account. Ever. Does anyone know how I disable this notification in REGEDIT?
Note: I know people are having problems with this notification even after they have signed into their Microsoft account. This could be a solution for them as well.
First, you'll need a local account. If you already have one, you can go straight to the "Email & app accounts" screen (see further down).
If you don't have a local account, you'll need to create one first (don't worry, this won't reset your settings). Only then can you remove your Microsoft account from your computer, which will get rid of the annoying notification.
Go to Settings -> Accounts.
On the "Your info" page, click "Sign in with a local account instead".
Confirm your current Microsoft account password to continue.
Choose a username for your local account. You can also specify a password if you want to.
You will be signed out of your Microsoft account and can now sign in with the local account you just created. Once you have done this, go back to Settings -> Accounts and go to the "Email & app accounts" page.
You should see your Microsoft account listed under "Accounts used by other apps". Click on it, and select the "Remove" option.
This disassociates your Microsoft account with your PC. You no longer need to enter your Microsoft password to log in and you should also be rid of the annoying notification.
Note: If you need your Microsoft account for any of your apps to work, this solution unfortunately will not work for you.
Go to "Settings", then choose "Email & App Accounts" and remove the shown Microsoft account. I already were logging in with a local account, but was still getting notifications with nagging about Microsoft account. Removing the Microsoft account as described above, made the notifications disappear.
To get rid of this notification go to PC Settings, Accounts.
Below Manage my Microsoft account you will see Verify your Identity.
Select it and enter your windows account password and press enter.
The notification will no longer display.
The other method above will turn off all notifications.
Another option if you have notification with work or school account: settings > System > Shared experiences > off
run gpedit.msc (as administrator)
Under
user configuration
|_ start menu and toolbar
|_ notifications
Find "turn off toast notifications" and set it to enabled.
