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

    Nearly 30 years of loyalty is in jeapardy on this end. It doesn't help that the founder has been losing his mind lately.

    Same thing here. Had my hotmail account for 20+ years and for many years the only emails allowed into my Inbox were from my contacts and trusted senders. Worked perfectly until this morning. Now almost all emails, trusted or not, arrive in my Inbox. Please fix!

    Same! After 20 years, maybe it's time for a new email provider if all we are going to get is "what have you done" responses. OBVIOUSLY this is a bigger problem than being acknowledged.

    Please someone let me know the resolution to this.

    It's massively annoying to find all the annoying junk reaching my inbox.

    Started today for me too (20 Feb 23).
