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

Yes- has been happening for quite some time for me junk emails trickling in my hotmail inbox(even blocked addresses!). Today all of a sudden got flooded with junk as if the gates have opened. I am sure all my settings are correct- this is definitely a Microsoft issue.
I'm in England and I've got the same problem. As far as I can see, no settings have been changed, so what's going on?
Same issue here. Woke up with 70+ junk emails in my inbox! Nothing changed on my end; I have not adjusted any settings. Getting about one piece of junk mail into my inbox a minute at this point. It's crazy! FIX IT, MICROSOFT!
Seems to have followed 'Updates' offered yesterday. Yesterday it was ok, today all 'Junk' going into my inbox!!
Having the same problem here but no answer at this time.
