Hi, @Philip Meredith

May I ask what issue you’re contacting support about?

Are you using a personal Microsoft account (like Outlook/Hotmail), or is this for Microsoft 365 Business?

I need to speak with a live MS tech support agent on my landline telephone. The issue is about the security of my MS account. Someone is has requested MS to replace my security information with his. I need MS to cancel this request by a stranger/hacker. GB

My outlook crashed on September 26 my MS 365 is completely broken. I have been trying to speak with a live remote support agent for days. After 11 days of support they have left me high and dry. No way to send or receive in outlook and all support options exhausted. I guess Microsoft has decided we are not worth supporting their broken products anymore.

If you got assistance from Microsoft support, all you can do is try to contact them again via https://support.microsoft.com/contactus . Nobody in Q&A can get in touch with support on your behalf. Contributors in the forums are your fellow users, and we do not have access to account info.

If you want to ask your question here, please start your own thread. Use the Ask a question option. Good luck.

The current thread is old and it will be closed.

For Microsoft 365 for home, these are the supported ways to reach a live support person:

Use the Get Help app or browser to contact support.
In the support experience, type Contact Support or Chat with an agent.
Select Contact support.
Choose the product and category, then follow the prompts to start a live chat or request a call back if that option is offered.

Another path for Microsoft 365 for home is:

Try the Microsoft support contact experience.
Sign in with the Microsoft account tied to the subscription if prompted.
Select the Microsoft 365 or Office product.
Choose the support category.
Select chat with a support agent in the browser when available.

If phone support is preferred, Microsoft also provides a support contact path and, for business admins, global support phone numbers are available through the admin support flow.
