Hello drugo,

Windows services and apps (such as the Mail app) that use Microsoft services require that you be signed in with a Microsoft account instead of a local account.

If you like, you could sign in to your Store with a Microsoft account using step 6 below. This way you will still stay signed in to Windows with a local account, and be able to use Microsoft services since you are signed in to the Store with a Microsoft account.

Is your Windows verified as a trusted PC?

How often would you say that it's asking you to enter your password. It's not uncommon for it to do that every once in a while, but not often, just to verify.

every month i guess , i have to say that it's installed on my laptop
and i use my laptop very seldom

That would be about right then for it to verify since you are signed in to Windows with a local account and not able to have it as a verified device (aka: trusted PC) to not get them anymore.
