Windows 10: How To Stop A Microsoft Pop-Up?

Please note that I posted this same thread on another Microsoft Forum but I suspect it wasn't the right one.

For at least the last six months I have been getting a pop-up notice several times a week on my desktop, and I can't figure out how to stop it. I am using a Compaq desktop and running Windows 10. My Windows 10 is up to date as of last Friday.
This pop-up I get several times a week always says: "MICROSOFT ACCOUNT PROBLEM" then "We need to fix your Microsoft Account (Most likely your password changed). Select here to fix it in Shared Experiences settings."
Most times I just delete it because I don't have time to deal with it. But when I do I click on the link and I get a page that has a button to click on to fix it. I click on this button which directs me to sign in. After I sign in it takes me back to that page with the button, only it now says all of my accounts are working properly. A couple days later I get another identical pop up. Over the last six months I have tried everything else listed on that page to fix it, but nothing works.
Got any ideas how I can permanently stop these pop-ups from reoccurring?
