    Posting here does increase awareness but typically Microsoft will do what it does best - nothing much.

    We are its 'willing' guinea pigs when it comes to testing their software and until an issue becomes huge they don't show interest as we have paid and are still paying for their broken software.

    Should I/we go over to Apple or something else - who knows.... but some will

    Thank you so much for the quick reply and great feedback, it's doing the same thing to me, and it happened yesterday randomly, so i was concerned about it, and i was kinda scared, because i really tried everything and nothing has worked, so we have to wait it out to see if microsoft can get this repaired and working properly. sincerely RedBearMain

    Hi, Well two of the issues I had have been finally fixed, no more warning signs about security and all areas say everthing is ok and secure, BUT still blocked out as per previous stated.

    So wil try and get into Chat area, will take two hours of my time to hopefully fix a fault caused by Microsoft and it has affected thousands. NO reply from Microsoft regarding a fix.

    WE need max publicity to get them to listen, but they treat us with contempt by doing nothing

    So disappointed with the lack of assistance from Microsoft, its THEIR issue and we suffer and security compromised because they do nothing.
