I wouldn’t be looking forward to doing a reset.  I mainly have the usual programs there, and thanks to 1drive I have all of the stuff backed up.  Right now, with all that is going on, I guess I’ll just put up and shut up for now.  The last thing I need is to have to get some kind of in person support with all that is going on.

Since my other devices don't think there's a problem, I hit escape on the suggestion and keeping doing what I'm doing. It's annoying, though.

>> Hi everyone, I have long since deleted the settings my computer needed for work when I was layed off a few months ago, but it has asked me to reset my password for the computer itself every 90 days.  I was surprised when it did this yesterday.  I’ve got Windows-10 and was wondering if there is anything I can do to stop this prompt from happening?
