(URGENT!!) I fell for a phishing scam and ended up losing access to my Microsoft account.
Earlier today (9/13/2025) I ended up falling for a phishing scam via Discord, which ended up having me lose most if not all access to my Microsoft account. What I do know is that they changed the primary email, so my original email no longer works, and that there's a high possibility that they've sold it to a third party based on what they were saying. I was unable to make the automated recovery work because of the original email being changed. I'd hope to possibly get more assistance on this issue, I'll attempt to provide as much proof that I'm the original owner of the account based on my account history as: Original email address Last known password Approximated account creation date Details of my purchases Any assistance on how to proceed with this issue would be greatly appreciated!! Because I have quite a few personal details there that are sensitive. Thank you.Is it possible to request deletion of an old account?
I have an old tech community profile out there that was associated with a previous employer’s email address, and I’d like to have that profile deleted. Obviously I no longer have access to the email address the profile is linked to, so I can’t sign in and delete it myself. Is it possible to submit a request with the profile URL and the email address it was tied to and have someone on the Microsoft side process that deletion?
Issues with Multiple Microsoft Accounts Using the Same Phone Number
Hi everyone, I’m having a frustrating issue with my Microsoft accounts and hoping for some advice. I have three separate Microsoft accounts, each with a different email address, because I have three separate Minecraft accounts. However, all three accounts are linked to the same mobile phone number. The problem is that every time I try to verify ownership of one account using my phone number, one of the other accounts seems to go inactive or gets flagged. It seems Microsoft doesn’t handle multiple accounts sharing the same phone number very well. Has anyone dealt with something similar, or does anyone know a safe way to manage multiple Microsoft accounts tied to the same number without causing issues for the others? Thanks in advance!Teams Phone Domain Verification - Weeks of Delays Despite Providing All Required Documents
I'm a small business CEO in Germany, trying to verify my domain for Microsoft Teams Phone. I've been stuck in verification for WEEKS despite providing all required documentation multiple times. Documents Provided: Official Namecheap Order Summary (domain purchase receipt from August 2025) Official domain ownership transfer confirmation to my company SPONTANEUS UG All information requested: domain name, owner, registration date, duration, registrar The Problem: Microsoft support repeatedly rejects these standard domain registration documents, asking for the same information. The requirements keep changing mid-process, and when I request escalation to a supervisor, the requests are ignored. Business Impact: I've paid for Teams Phone, but I'm unable to activate it. This is preventing me from making business calls to prospects - directly impacting my ability to generate revenue. What I Need: Someone at Microsoft who can actually read standard domain registration receipts Escalation beyond the current support agent, who keeps copy-pasting the same responses Teams Phone activation so I can run my business Has anyone experienced similar domain verification issues with Microsoft Teams Phone? How did you get it resolved? Any guidance on proper escalation channels would be greatly appreciated. This shouldn't take weeks when I have all the proper documentation from a major registrar like Namecheap.Phone Link disconnects in 24h2 and Pixel 6a resolved

Background Removal or Replacement for Studio effects
i think one BIG missing feature for studio effects is the absence of Background removal or replacement, for content creators it is very useful because we use the feature every day, and tools in OBS does not lean on the NPU thereby reducing battery life most persons use Nvidia Broadcast simply because of their amazing Background replacement what we need for windows effects is a full featured app like the poly camera pro you find in HP laptops, having something as featured like that as the default studio effects app for windows would be awesome. Microsoft please add this, you already have background blur so removing the background should not be much work i believe Thanks
Teams/Authenticator loop issue
Microsoft Teams/Authenticator are getting caught in an uninterruptable loop. I have tried everything from uninstalling/reinstalling the apps, clearing cache, clearing credentials and resigning in, everything I can think of. The loops continues and am not able to get logged in on the device. Azure sign-in logs show as successful but does not allow to be signed in. Any help is appreciated.
Windows Explorer: Search box: “sparkle” animation - please add a toggle / respect Animation effects
Title: File Explorer search box “sparkle” animation — please add a toggle / respect Animation effects Who thought it was a good idea to add a sparkly magnifying-glass animation in the File Explorer search box? It’s very distracting (a strong exogenous / stimulus-driven attention trigger). Is there a way to disable it, or can we get a toggle? Video (shows the animation): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tvN7ouOXTy0 Steps to reproduce: 1) Open File Explorer → the magnifying glass plays a sparkly animation Expected: With “Animation effects” off, the search UI should remain static. Actual: The sparkle animation still plays even with animations disabled. Workarounds tried: - Settings > Accessibility > Visual effects > Animation effects = Off - Performance Options: unchecked “Animate controls and elements inside windows” - Restarted Explorer / rebooted → Animation persists. System info: Windows 11 Pro, Version 25H2 (OS Build 26220.5790)Language outlook after recovery
My account was hacked and the language setting was changed. I recovered my account but the language remains the same. I changed the language many time and it would say the languged has been changed after clicking save but when i go back to the email the hacked language remains the same. I signed out and this over and over from different devices, different network but the language would not change. anyone went throught the same experience ?
