Edit: After doing more research, I think I figured this out. Thread can be closed.

Problem solved, sort of. I was entering safe mode by going through "advanced startup options in Setting-Recovery, then restarting, choosing troubleshooting, working through there, restarting, and choosing safe mode from the menu. When I do that, it brings me to the regular log in screen where...

I was attempting to troubleshoot an issue in a game I'm playing by starting in safe mode and seeing if the problem persisted. Unfortunately, when I restart in safe mode with networking, my MS account password is "incorrect". It works fine when I start normally. It's been a good while since I...

Same here, I ended up turning of indexing until they fix it.

Thank you! Yes, I had installed MSI Center and some of the associated items. My first thought was the MSI DPC Latency Tuner so I got rid of it, but no change. Then I uninstalled something called MSI Center SDK. Not even sure where it came from, I think it installed automatically when I...

Glasskuter, thanks for the suggestions. I ran the troubleshooter and it determined that I was on the High Performance plan and recommended choosing Balanced. I chose Balanced and it changed it. By the time I opened Control Panel to check, it was back on High Performance. Same thing doing it...

I'm not sure when this started, but a few days ago I noticed that my CPU was not throttling down like it used to. It turned out to be because my Power Plan setting was on High Performance. I swapped it to Balanced, saw the CPU throttle properly, and forgot it for a few days. Then I noticed it...

Chiming back in to answer this, in my case I always log in with a Microsoft account.

Thanks for all the help, FreeBooter. There are way too many files to deal with on an individual basis. But the good news is my friendly little popup warning seems to have gone away for now. I wish I could take credit for that, but it just seems to come and go as it pleases. At least if it...

Thanks for the tip. While I personally haven't encrypted anything, running cipher /u /n /h does indeed show a long list of files. Is that telling me that they are all encrypted? If so, how would I un-encrypt them? Most of them are related to the Intel Graphics driver that I installed...

LOL! Sorry, it was just my way of blowing off some steam. I appreciate the help, believe me.

Yes, I had gathered that Device Encryption was a different animal, but the link showing how to enable/disable it isn't really helping since I don't seem to have that option in settings. Can someone please explain why I am having to waste my time trying to fix a potential problem that I didn't...

One more thing. I don't seem to have the "Device Encryption" option under Privacy & Security Settings. Any idea why? SMH...

Ashley, thank you for the link, which I'm looking over now. The first thing I noticed though, is unlike some of the posters Bit Locker is not turned on on my machine. That was the first thing I checked when I got the popup. As far as I can tell it's warning me to back up a key which doesn't...
