Additional log on information may be required in notification tray
Patch Tuesday on Oct 8, 2013 had 24 important updates. But BEFORE those updates I developed a new problem:
Network/Internet Access Icon: In the lower-right of the desktop, in the notification area, I receive a frequent pop-up notification that states, " Additional Log on Information may be required. Click to open your browser"
If you click it, it does open your browser but no more prompts---it just opens the browser normally. Pop-up definitely appears on start-up or re-start. After you close the pop-up a few times the pop-up quits but will reappear on start-up or reboot.
In googling the problem, the same problem appeared not in 2013 but 2012. Some answers seemed to identify a Windows Update KB number that was the culprit so uninstall the KB or wait for another KB update to fix it. Other answers talked about "switching DNS setting on router to "auto retrieve from provider". Another answer talked about disabling "Enabled NX Domain Redirection" option. Another answer talked about messing with the "registry key and set to zero for DNS", These are some areas I am not confident with, especially messing with the registry.
Help please. Thx.
