Outlook still down in India – EX1550543 / MO1550821
Still affected here in India as of 10:45 UTC, 13 Nov 2026 (EX1550543 / MO1550821). Outlook on the web and Outlook desktop are both unable to connect. Sign-in to Microsoft 365 works, but Outlook isn't loading. We've ruled out local network issues on our side, so it looks like the fix hasn't reached our region yet. Is anyone else in India still affected, or seeing recovery?
Microsoft Sign In Loop
I am trying to sing into Microsoft 365, but every time I do, it takes me back to the login screen. I sing in with my outlook account, but I can't reach the applications. I can sign in on the browser, but not the applications on my computer. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling M365, but the issue still persists
WHY is microsoft support so useless???
I give up at this point. How is it possible for one of the biggest companies in the world to have the worst and most useless support system ever. I'm just trying to get my account back after it got hacked so I can play minecraft. So how is in after sending a paragraph of information about the account and screenshots of receipts and email I received of someone changes the email of the account, it's still not enough information??? The selfhelp system is somehow the worst one I've ever seen and the AI chatbot doesn't even work.
Unable to Open an Old OST File After Outlook Profile or Mailbox Changes
Hi everyone, I am looking for suggestions on handling an old OST file where the original Outlook profile or mailbox is no longer available. The situation is that an OST file contains important mailbox data, but Outlook cannot open it normally after changes to the user account or profile. This can happen after a Microsoft 365 mailbox change, Exchange migration, user account removal, or when an OST file becomes damaged. Since OST files are linked to the Outlook profile and mailbox that created them, simply moving the file to another system does not always make the data accessible. Before attempting any recovery approach, I would like to understand the recommended steps: Is there any Microsoft-recommended method to access an orphaned OST file? What checks should be performed before trying to recover data from the OST? How do administrators usually handle old OST files when the original mailbox is no longer available? What is the best way to validate recovered mailbox data? I would appreciate feedback from anyone who has handled similar Outlook OST recovery scenarios after Microsoft 365 or Exchange changes.
Help me recover my account.
Hi, My other Microsoft account was recently compromised but it was compromised before as well. When it was compromised before, the hacker added a recovery email for verification and to remove that I added my another email and the request was sent and it was supposed to change in October and I was not able to change the password or use other features of Microsoft because at some point it keep redirecting me to the page that I have sent a request but during that time period, my account was compromised again and I keep receiving emails of unusual sign-in activity by the hacker and I wanted to change the password but I couldn't because of that request so I was being patient. Now I received an email that someone accessed my Microsoft account and now I have to verify my identity to log in and to log in it ask me to type the email that the hacker set up because it's not changed and since I don't know what that is it takes me to the account recovery page where I put all the information that I know, I write in my postal code, my old and current passwords, date of birth etc. I have never used skype, Hotmail or outlook and Xbox so I just uncheck those boxes and then it asks me if I have ever bought any product but since I didn't so I uncheck that as well but then I just receive the email that the information I provided is nonsufficient even thou I provided all the information that is correct. Unfortunately Sign-in helper didn't work. Kindly help me resolve the issue. Looking forward to your positive response. Yours sincerely.
Can't sign in to microsoft account
I'm locked out of my microsoft account simply because I don't have access to the Authenticator App. I recently performed a factory reset on my phone with the Authenticator App on and now I can't sign in to my account. I have tried the self help forums and I got a response email saying: "It looks like you just used the Microsoft account recovery form (account.live.com) to request a password reset for e**************email address removed for privacy reasons. Because you've turned on two-step verification for your account, we ignore these requests but wanted to let you know. If you're having trouble signing in, go to (account.live.com/ResetPassword) and reset your password using security info such as your phone, alternate email address, or authenticator app." It won't let me use my phone number when I select it as a sign in option. I have tried the recovery forms to no avail.Hacked please help
My Microsoft account was hacked today. The attacker changed my sign-in alias to a random Outlook address, removed my phone number, added their own Authenticator app, and changed the recovery email. My original email now says the Microsoft account doesn’t exist. I have the Microsoft security emails proving the changes. I also have other forms of proof. If there is any moderator or anyone who can help me recover my account I had some important stuff on there I would like to get back. It wasn't this email but another one I made this so I can ask for help. When I tried to recover the email they changed it as provided in the screenshots down below. I tried to call support and fill out recovery stuff but since they changed the email for the account there is not much I can do.Has anyone migrated from one Google Workspace to another after a company merger?
Hi all, Our company recently went through a merger and we now have two separate Google Workspace accounts that need to be consolidated into one. I need to move everything across, emails, contacts, calendars and tasks, for all users without anything getting lost in the process. Honestly not sure where to begin. Google's native tools seem limited for something like this and I don't want to start without a solid plan. Has anyone gone through a similar consolidation? How did you handle it and is there anything you wish you had known before starting?
Subject: Need help reaching support for a compromised account where the email was changed
Greetings! My gamertag is sakhigaming2. My account was compromised a few months ago, and the hacker changed my login email completely. Because of this, the standard recovery system says my gamertag does not exist. I am currently locked out of my home Xbox console. I have my physical console Serial Numbers and hardware data for both of my household Xboxes to prove I am the original owner.Since the automated recovery forms do not recognize my old email anymore, I need a way to contact a live support agent who can escalate this to the account investigation team to track down my profile's backend ID. If anyone knows the correct path to get a live chat or callback for an alias-changed account, please let me know. Thank you, and have a great day!Planning to Migrate OST Files to Microsoft 365 - Need Some Guidance Before I Start
Hey folks, I have a task coming up where I need to migrate OST files into Office 365 mailboxes. A few of the OST files I'm dealing with are orphaned or corrupted which is making me a bit nervous about the whole process. A couple of things I'm unsure about: How to handle OST files that are no longer linked to an active profile Whether corrupted OST files can still be migrated to Office 365 without major data loss Best way to verify data integrity after migration Haven't started yet and want to make sure I'm going in the right direction before I begin. Has anyone migrated corrupted or orphaned OST files to Office 365? What approach worked best for you?
