Microsoft sent txt: the security info for
[PII Removed] is being replaced by to [PII Removed]"
I have been unable to repair my missing shared user despite researching MS forums and CoPilot.
Can you advise me please.

The text message suggests that Microsoft account security information may have been changed or is being replaced. If you initiated the change, you may need to wait for the security information update process to complete before regaining full access. If you did not request the change, treat the account as potentially compromised and review your account security immediately.
Regarding the missing Windows 11 user, please clarify whether:
- The user account no longer appears on the Windows sign-in screen, or
- The Microsoft account cannot sign in, or
- A shared user profile appears to be missing.
If you can access another administrator account, check Settings > Accounts > Other users and verify whether the missing account is listed. Also look for "Sign-in options" or "Other user" on the sign-in screen.
Looking forward to hearing from you!
