Dear Kepnach64
Welcome to Microsoft Community.
Thanks for your feedback, I understand that you are having trouble on recover your friend's account via the recovery form.
We've been receiving a lot of questions in our community lately that account recovery forms aren't coming as expected.
Rest assured that even if your friend's account cannot be restored, you should get a response.
The community team sent them the question and we received a response from them.
Due to recent system issues that are causing recovery forms to not arrive as expected, these stacked forms are expected to be resolved within a few days.
In fact, some users said they received the long-awaited account recovery results.
Based on June 5th, I personally think they will need another 1 to 2 days to reply these extension form.
My advice is not to resubmit your account recovery form, as the new one will replace the old one unless you get a negative result.
I will keep an eye on the current issue and face this problem hand in hand.
Let me know if you receive a response to your account recovery form so we can help more users.
Hope you can help your friend recover his account.
Thank you for your time and understanding.
Sincerely,
Hardyjoe.J|Microsoft Community Support Specialist
