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 have the same issue. I had 75 emails from my Hotmail account in my inbox. All were junk. How do we fox this without deleting the email account?

    When this is over, everyone will be glad to be getting their junk in the right folder.

    Having the same problem here but no answer at this time.

    However, clearing cookies once a week helps to reduce the amount of junk mail received in junk mail folder, but make sure you know your passwords as you will be required to log in to all of your accounts after performing this action.

    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!
