Windows Notification: Work or School Account Problem

Overview

Microsoft Windows is pushing a notification that says "Work or School Account Problem: We need to fix your work or school account (most likely your password changed). Select here to fix it in Shared experiences Settings."

This notification is a result of a transition to a new Microsoft 365 tenant completed on July 1. You can find out more information about this transition here. While we did not intend for this popup to occur, it is simple to resolve by following the instructions below.
