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

    This is the third time in the past year this has happened to me, and frankly, I’m getting a bit tired of it. I keep wondering why this is some thing they cannot fix, and fix permanently.

    After a couple of days of MS filters being successful, I again have a ****-show in the focused inbox today! I would really like some time with these spamming criminals in some basement somewhere with reliable power supply......

    Since applying the following rules/filters to junk mail I have not received any more junk in my Inbox

    It does mean that I have to check my junk mail box for emails that do not fulfill the requirements below, are safe and should have gone to my Inbox.
