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

    I'm in the US and have the same problem as of this morning 2/20/23. None of my settings have been changed.

    And I get about 300 Junk mails every day. Please give us a good and easy solution. I am not a tech whiz.

    ....................and tech support is non existent to say the least. Pick list sends you back to Contact which sends you back to suggestions for the user to take "corrective action". RIGHT

    What a shame - exactly same thing for me too. Really annoying, hopefully it gets fixed soon.

    I have exactly the same problem.

    Glad to hear I'm not the only one.

    But it's still tiresome to stop this sudden torrent of junk entering my inbox.

    Can MS please do something!!!!
