Brought here by a search? Two posts in this thread, both on page 5 may be helpful. The post by neilpzz and the post by criggs. The thread is locked because it's not at all likely that another helpful post will appear.

In an attempt to remain cordial. Could someone please point me in the direction of an actual working support number, that will have an actual human on the other end. I need to be able to speak to someone for the help I need because it’s a complicated issue I don’t exactly know how to explain, and poorly constructed drop down windows unfortunately have not helped aid in my quest for a solution in any way, shape, or form, for the past two hours…. And that’s just the time I’ve spent trying to find out how to actually speak to someone for help…. So can I please get some assistance in this department so I can fix this computer, and continue my work.

Windows for home | Windows 10 | Windows update

    I'm literally having the same exact issue and everything I try fails. One step even said in order to get into my locked account, i needed to sign in. Really unbelievable. I don't understand why someone can't just help.

    Generally you can only contact Microsoft support via the Get Help app in widows or Contact Us - Microsoft Support

    This is a user community forum and Microsoft don't answer here.

    That phone number is bogus. They will not allow you to speak to a representative and your online help is garbage because they don't cover all the issues. That site cannot help me and I'm beyond frustrated and there is no request a call. All you get is automated telling you the email address and the website to get online help and there is nothing on there that even comes close to the issue that I'm having in your stupid drop-down menu. So great support that's all lies

    WayneSW,

    Use the Get Help app in windows. Enter chat with an agent the Contact Support and see if any options help.
