2025-05-08T00:27:17+00:00 It was NOT an accident. Microsoft helped my husband load Microsoft 365 on my laptop, it imediatley locked up when I tried to sign in. I need to get into my computer, I have a project due on Saturday and need to get into my computer and remove Microsoft 365 so my laptop will function.
We have called Microsoft 4 times, NO HELP AT ALL. 3 times the foreign tech hung up on us.
I called Lenovo and was told it's caused by Microsoft.
