"Your iCloud account settings are out-of-date" notification keeps popping up on my Windows 10 PC.

The Windows 10 notification: "Your iCloud account settings are out-of-date." keeps popping up.

When I click on the notification my email pops up and I "fix" it by signing in. That does not end the notification.

I open Apple update and it tells me that all is updated.

How do I stop the windows 10 notification that my iCloud account settings are out-of-date ?

okay, just go to http://appleid.apple.com and log in. There, under the 'Security' section, you will find App-Specific Passwords. Click on 'Generate Password...' and name the app you're going to use. I'd suggest Windows 10. Then you get a set of random letters. Go to your Windows accounts and click on 'Fix account' and enter this newly generated password as your iCloud password. I had no idea that this was a thing until just now.

I don't have 2 factor authentication and I can't make this go away

Did you read the thread? You HAVE to have 2 factor authentication turned on to resolve this issue.

What if I'm not using two-factor authentication for my iCloud account?

C'mon people, read the thread. You cannot resolve this problem WITHOUT USING 2-factor authentication.
