All of a sudden I'm being asked to subscribe to get Microsoft 365 but am sharing a family subscription with my husband. It says my subscription has been cancelled and directs me to the payment section. On his device it says i cannot be invited as I'm already sharing but i have lost the connection and can only view or print documents but not change or start new ones.. Can you help

    Hi I am Dave, I will help you with this.

    This seems to be caused by an emerging problem with shared Microsoft 365 accounts, there are so many people reporting this problem for the last few hours, most likely there is a problem on the Microsoft servers and we will need to wait for them to resolve the problem from their side.

    The best option is to open the Feedback Hub app in Windows and report this their so their developers can then investigate this problem.

    The same thing has just happened to me. Says my Microsoft 365 subscription has been cancelled but my husband is still sharing with me. Wondering if there is a wider problem?
