  1. Account not recognized


    Hello,When i try to log into anything using my microsoft account, it automatically tries to log me in with an email i don't recognise and definitely is not mine. If i try to log in using my own email, it says the account doesn't exist. When i try to make a new account using that email, it says the account does exist and that it will send an email, but then I never actually recieve it. Does this mean that i've been hacked, and is there any way to get my account back?

    :)

    3. Select add someone else on this PC.
    4. Enter a user name and hit next.
    5. Click on Finish.
    6. Sign out from the current Account and Log into the new account.
    Step 3:
    It could also happen because of network issue. I suggest you to try with different network connection and check if it helps.
