    Hello,

    Open an InPrivate window and sign in to your Microsoft account:

    https://account.microsoft.com/profile/

    • Under Profile info, update your 'Country or region' and 'Language settings'.
    • Then, update your Microsoft account name.

    Next, open Outlook in a separate InPrivate window:

    • https://outlook.live.com/
    • Go to Settings > General > Language and time, then update the language, country or region, and time zone.

    After making these changes, clear your browser history, cache, and cookies. Temporarily disable or remove any browser extensions, then try signing in to Outlook.com again.

    To prevent this from happening again in the future, secure your Microsoft account with a strong, unique password and enable two-step verification. This adds an extra layer of security if someone knows your password.

    For reference:
