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 having the same problem. So frustrating!!
I would not hold my breath as I have been having this issue for months. Bulk of junk goes into "Focused" mailbox, 2-5% to Junk folder and "Other" folder gets no junk. This is a joke. The stuff that does not get picked up is ridiculous. Here is something that ended up in my Focused mailbox.

Total incompetence.
I got a phising email saying someone tried to log into my account from Russia. I checked the source code of the email and it was from a fake microsoft official email, just some random hotmail account. So be careful everyone.
I have the exact same issue too with my hotmail account. All of a sudden my inbox is flooded with junk mail which would automatically go into junk mail ordinarily. Come on MS do something about this!
It's true. It has been months for me with it gradually becoming worse every day.
