I am receiving continuos emails from microsoft saying that lost connection to google account, everytime I reconnect after about 10 min microsoft lost connection again and I receive another email.

Is the problem some config in google account or changes in google services?

Is the problem some config in  microsoft account security? 

Note: When reconnecting, the permission asked by google is only offline access.

    I have been having this problem as well, for over a year. Extremely annoying. I have tried many times to disconnect my Google account and then reconnect it. It seems to work for about a month, but then the emails begin to arrive again. How long is it going to take Microsoft or anyone to fix this?

    I am likewise having the same issue.  I have disconnected and reconnected but the emails keep coming.

    They are legitimate Microsoft emails and link to the area where I can manage all accounts linked to my Microsoft account.

    I have received these emails on:

    7/16 (twice), 7/18, 8/3, 8/9, 8/13, 8/29 (twice), 9/2

    Sometimes I just attempt to reconnect, others I disconnect/reconnect but the results ultimately are the same.  It loses connection.

    I do use multiple Windows PC's, a Surface RT, and a Windows Phone 8 which all connect to this Hotmail account.
