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 am experiencing the same thing. Last time this happened, Microsoft sent an email stating they are trying to fix the issue, which they did. Unfortunately, I don't know a solution. I hope they fix it soon.

    They are trying to force you to buy an ad-free subscription for 1.99 per month.. I will keep deleting and blocking these emails and never give in to bribery as a long-term customer. Pass it on to others please and do not subscribe and make them do the right thing and stop trying to hustle people.

    I had this same situation a few months ago. Back then I was told I had surpassed the amount of email addresses I could block. So, I went in and deleted some blocked emails addresses and that appeared to do the trick . However, today February 20, 2023, the same thing is happening. A glitch in the Matrix I suppose.
