Microsoft seems to NOT WANT TO support regular users - I cannot find the live chat link that was fairly easy to find previously. Who can give me the link?

    And yes, there is NO direct link anyone can provide you. You must go through my steps given earlier.

    Gerhard, as I told you, this is a forum managed by non-Microsoft staff, and it requires an agent intervention to solve this out.

    I wanted to ask if you were able to contact the agent by my steps, since they are the one who can provide you a resolution.

    Hi,

    I agree that contacting support is a tedious task sometimes. The forum support provides help free of cost.

    If you seek billing support, see this method:

    Sales and Support:

    Click Chat Now > Choose Personal:

    • Click Microsoft Office / Windows depending on the issue.
    • Click Get Home Support.
    • Type "Billing" and press Enter.
    • Please click on the "Contact support" button at the bottom.
    • Select the Category for support based on your requirements.

    Yes. Microsoft support can offer chat, depending on the product and support path.

    For regular users, use Get Help on the web and describe the issue. The support flow provides self-help or connects to the most appropriate support option, which can include chat: Get Help on the web

    A commonly used path is:

    1. Open the support contact page.
    2. Type Contact Support or Live Chat.
    3. Select Contact support.
    4. Sign in if prompted.
    5. Choose the product and category.
    6. If available for that case, select Chat with a support agent in your web browser.
