You can speak to a real person, but it won't be an employee of Microsoft. Microsoft employees don't speak with individual customers, and haven't done this in many years. Instead, Microsoft hires a limited number of outside contractors to speak with customers, but as their number is limited you'll need to be patient in order to reach one of them.

TBH: The contractors won't tell you anything different from what you'll hear in Microsoft Q&A, and since we are available now - and have the ability to see your screenshots - your best advice is to ask here.

Yes. For personal Microsoft accounts, the available real-person option is usually live chat with a support agent rather than direct email.

Steps:

Open Microsoft Support contact. https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/contactus

Sign in to a working Microsoft account if possible.

In the search box, type agent support or chat with an agent.

Select Contact Support.

Choose Microsoft 365 and Office or Windows, depending on the issue.

Choose Technical Support or the closest matching category.

Select Chat with a support agent in your web browser.

If offered, request a callback instead.

Important details:

Live chat is typically available only during business hours.

If chat is unavailable, try again later during business days and hours.

For subscription or billing issues, choose the subscription/account management category when prompted.
