You do use the same Microsoft account for your mail (i.e. you@outlook.com; you@live.com or you@hotmail.com) as you registered with, and you did not switch to you@gmail or what so ever?

Hmm... I cannot see what you'd change in shared experiences to fix the issue but still. It might be what you have it set to.
If you right click the start icon and then from the WinX menu choose System. Look for shared experiences on the left and click that (as above).
You can either share across 'Everyone nearby' or just your devices but nothing about verifying your account.
To verify ones account you need to visit your settings page and click accounts. If there is any issue to do with your Microsoft account then you'll see 'Verify' written under your account.
If you don't see verify then chances are your account is fine.
May i ask where are you seeing these error messages pop up?

The message to go to shared experiences shows up in the notification window on the right side of the screen.
I also get a popup in front of the Shared experiences which says Verify email and "We sent an email to xxxxx@comcast.net
to make sure you own it. Please check your inbox and enter the security code to finish up your Microsoft account." The problem here is
I never receive the so called code in my email. On chat Microsoft support people keep giving me the account verification code(6digits)
when the verify email will only accept a 4 digit code. They don't seem to understand the difference between Account verification and Verify email!

You might want to run Malwarebytes and make sure this isn't a scam.
I get stuff like this thats just fishing for your password.
Or check this out....
repeating notification "you need to fix your microsoft account"
