Hello, and welcome to ElevenForum.

I use a LOCAL account so I can't help with MS account issues, but I can give you ten points for filling out your computer specs.
That makes things a lot easier for us, when you post a problem.

I don't like to use a local account you don't get the updates like you do with a Microsoft account. But hopefully somebody will have an answer this is just very annoying. Toi have to sign out and then back in right after you have signed in and the pc booted up

You have an app that is attempting to log in that differs from the one originally logged in to the OS.
Is OneDrive on the same account as the log in user's?
Is the MS Store on on the same account as the log in user's?
What else starts at log on?
It's also possible that there is a delay in making a connection to the internet, so when you log on, you are not yet connected to the internet.
You are logged in to the OS but the MS account has not been able to log in yet resulting in the error.
Is it possible to you?

Check Settings > Apps > Advanced App Settings

more than likely its Store or OneDrive if you use your Microsoft account for your user account..

Do you see anything interesting if you go to settings/accounts?

XxXxX · Oct 4, 2025

please try
settings > accounts > Email and accounts

in this window check to see if 'your' account is there.
if its not use 'add account' and add 'your' account

then see if that gives any improvement on reboot/sign on
best of luck, Steve ..

You can also open your browser and type in the address bar accounts.microsoft.com.
Login with your Microsoft account to see if there are any issues.

Well, I think what you told me to do just fix it because easy after I turn my computer off for the night when I go to bed and I get out the next day and turn it on that usually when it does it, I just turned it on this morning and it has not done it yet so I think what you told me to do has fixed the issue Thank you for your help. I appreciate it..

mikie19598 · Oct 22, 2025

well unfortunately this did not fix the problem it still does this a few minutes after I turn on my pc and log in.

mikie19598 · Oct 22, 2025

This is what I see when I go into App Advanced options

mikie19598 · Oct 22, 2025

There's an old bug where this randomly happens on reboot. I think it happened on 10 and 11.
I had to dismiss the notification, because it was an incorrect error message being repeated.

In my case, I was still logged in and was getting spammed with that message in the notification bar section.

I don't see this as often now. It happened to me the most when I was still on 10, before 11 came out, IIRC.
