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.

    Do you want to give an answer that actually helps people ?? Here I am never even HAVING microsoft account and I had to make one to fix my issues how the hell does that work ?? You are stealing $30 a month from my bank and card despite my changing all my bank details twice over. There's no way to get through phone lines to a human and you're telling everyone the ONLY way to fox ANYTHING is to have a microsoft account and log in to chat with support ?? HELL NO. fix your options now and fix peoples problems. This is one of the oldest standing tech companies around y'all don't get to treat everyone like trash.

    Hello

    These instructions don't work for me. There are simply not the options. i want change my full name in my Outlook account because for some reason it changed to Mantis at 3pm yesterday. Have I been hacked? How do I know? I've got the instructions to change it but there is no option on Outlook on Mac for edit the full name.

    I would like to talk to someone - I'm going round in circles. When I click on the link there is no option on the screen to connect support. Please can I request a call back?

    Is the only option to delete Outlook and start again?

    HELP! I am locked out of my personal hotmail email account. I no longer have access to the email that is used to confirm my account online. I've tried to access my account multiple times and have been caught in a horrible loop. It's been 3 days of trying and 3 days of getting locked out! I need human help!

    I am 100% not able to log in in any way!

    WayneSW,

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