Windows 10: Windows security prompting me to verify an account i no longer have access to, how can i...

Hello! I believe this is a microsoft issue rather than a minecraft issue so I thought I would post here first. Months ago, my old Microsoft account was compromised and my email removed and replaced by the person who hacked it. This all happened within minutes before I even had time to react. This account had a pin, and was also tied to my Minecraft account. Fast forward to today, I have made a new Microsoft account and new Minecraft account and have signed in on the Microsoft store and Minecraft store with the new account. However, when I launch Minecraft, windows security pop up prompts me to

Prompting for verifying the account on Windows 10.

Hi Eddie,



I realize the inconvenience you are experiencing with Windows 10. I will certainly help you.

I would like to inform you that we can not send the verification email of live mail to Outlook.com account. The verification email will be send to the particular email address.



To assist you better, please provided us the information below:

• When you say that "verify my account", are you trying to verify old live mail address on the computer? Are you trying to verify the device in the user account settings of Windows 10?
• When you say that "I sign in to my Microsoft account with my outlook.com e mail and password", are you signed in as Outlook.com account or Live mail address on the computer? Which account is configured as user account on the computer?

I suggest you to refer to the Microsoft Help Article as a reference.

Cannot access shared network drive


Personally, I wouldnt use Everyone. If anyone hacks into you, they have full access to everything and can demolish everything on your raid. I would rather set up accounts and access separately for each person. That way, I know who did all that damage. In the end with a little extra work, I feel more secure by using Authenticated Users.


If this helps.
step 1 create non-microsoft account and without email and address without admin rights
step 2 share a drive or folder to specific user account (if Everyone is listed, remove it)
step 3 set security > add Authenticated Users (if more than 1 account) or add specific users
step 3a remove Everyone from list
step 3b uncheck full control and write for all items listed except SYSTEM and Admin account.
step 4 right click Start > Computer Management > System Tools > Shared Folders > Shares ... to verify settings and change anything else. You can also see the number of connections to each share here.
