Some of your accounts require attention in Windows 11/10
There are several possible causes behind the error at hand, with an unverified account being the primary reason. Another potential cause can be the PIN of your account credentials, or even possibly conflicting old login credentials. The workarounds suggested here all focus on remediating these causes.
1] Verify your Microsoft Account
The very first thing you should do is make sure that your Microsoft Account is verified and, if not, get it verified. The process to do so is very easy, all you have to do is follow the steps discussed below: The settings to complete Microsoft ID verification on Windows are found in the Windows Settings, under the Account tab.
2] Remove PIN as a login mechanism
If account verification doesn’t do the trick for you, then you can try removing the PIN from the account login page. Check if doing so fixes the issue at hand.
3] Disable Shared Experiences
Shared Experiences is a feature that allows users to share messages, links, and open apps across devices. It is possible, however, that it may be causing the “Some of your accounts require attention” error on Windows, in which case you need to turn off Nearby Sharing and Share across devices. Under Nearby sharing at the top, check the Off circle to completely disable the Shared Experiences feature. Once you’ve done that, restart your computer and check if the issue persists.
One of the solutions above ought to help you get rid of the “Some of your accounts require attention” error on Windows 11/10.
