Junk Emails Suddenly going to Inbox Feb 2023

Hi, I had my hotmail account for over 20 years and I never had an issue like this. As of this morning at 4am ALL of my junk emails are going to my inbox. No settings have been amended.

Since I've had this account for many years every 5 minutes I receive a junk in my inbox. Ive searched for a solution online but all I can see is for outlook and not outlook/hotmail 365. I've tried everything at this point, from rules to flagging wit no help. Has anyone experienced the same? Microsoft doesnt seem to have a customer service team to help?

Many thanks

    There is a growing Twitter thread at #Outlook about this. At least one person said they have been struggling with this for weeks. Hope that's not true.

    I had this happen this morning for the first time. Can't find any link to a Microsoft Support or Customer Service site.

    Same issue for me and I've had my MSN email for over 20 years with no issues. My husband has a Live email and had the same problems, both started this morning. When I tried contacting support it sent me to an app.
