    HiI hereby report a security incident involving my Microsoft account.I received a threatening, extortion-containing email in which the sender claims to have hacked into my devices and says he sent the message from my own Microsoft account. The content includes threats to disclose alleged compromising videos, demanding payment in cryptocurrency to prevent the publication of these materials.I would like to know if there has been any unauthorized access to my account and request that the security team check for any suspicious activity. I have already taken the following precautions:Change my pass

  2. old email addresses

    Thank you for updating me HA.111

    Here is the step to remove that old email address.

    Start typing an email address into the “To” field. As soon as you see the old email address being recommended as one of the potential candidates, use the down arrow key to scroll through the list of suggestions. Once you highlight the old email address, type the delete key. In many cases, this will actually remove the entry not only from the current list of suggestions but from future suggestions as well. You may even find that as you mouse over the drop-down list the highlighted item will have an “x” to explicitly allow you to delete it.

    Just do this step and your good to go.

    Continue to have an escellent day HA.111

  3. Child Activity Report

    Hello Tareq,

    Let's determine the cause of the issue. To get started, I'd like to get the following information:

    • Is this your first time to encounter this issue? If so, did you make any changes to your account or to your computer prior to this?
    • Which email address did you use when you've set up the Family Safety?

    To make sure, I suggest that your follow these steps and see if it helps:

    • Go to account.microsoft.com/family
      and sign in with your Microsoft account.
    • Find your child's name and select Activity.
    • If Activity reporting is turned Off, use the switch to turn it
      On.

    Note: If you don't want to get weekly activity reports in your email, but still want to see your child's online activity, switch Email me weekly reports from On to Off.

    We're looking forward to your response.

    How to delete suggested email addresses in Windows 10 APP 2023

    There are tons of suggested email addresses that show up in a drop down menu when I am starting to type an email address into the "To:" field, when composing a new email, in Windows 10 app. They are not listed on my contacts. How can I delete these so that only the ones I use often show up? Redirecting.
    This thread is obsolete, and the steps DO NOT apply.

    When following step 1) you begin typing the email address to have the suggested emails pop up - and you cannot right click, select, open contact properties at all.

    When following step 2) This step is entirely ignorant of the fact that these "suggested" emails that pop up - are NOT in the contacts list.

    Can someone please explain how to remove this woefully annoying "Suggested" contact, with a current method, please?
