    How To Change Microsoft Account for PC after old one got hacked


    So months ago my old Microsoft account got hacked and was unable to do anything to get it back so ive given up and i am trying to switch to this microsoft account im using now. So i can use the xbox features but there is a problem, ive tried removing my old account and im unable to because ofc they changed the email and locked me out of it while signing every device out of it. so is there a way to switch to my new account if i have no access to my old one? Thanks.

    :)

  2. Microsoft Account Hacked

    There is nothing of value that anyone can do about your hacked account.

    But there is a lot that you now have to do, and the sooner the better:

    • Change all your passwords
    • Abandon your email accounts and get new email accounts
    • Tell all your contacts not to open messages from your old account
    • Freeze your credit reports
    • Contact your financial institutions
    • Be on the lookout for signs that your identity has been stolen
    Whoever hacked your account knows everything about you that is in that account.

    Old Microsoft account hacked by rambler.ru

    My previous Microsoft account has been hacked by someone with the rambler.ru domain. I was able to log back into it using their changed email address (*** Email address is removed for privacy ***) and the old password that they did not change. Unfortunately I don't have access to their email so I cannot make sure that a password change or account closure goes through after 30 days. I also have my Minecraft account associated with that microsoft account. Is there anything I can do to recover the Minecraft account or recover the entire Microsoft account from the hacker's control?

    Edge Search Does Not Permit Change of Region


    I got these suggestions from the Microsoft Community forum.No. 1 worked for me:

    Thank you for posting the query on Microsoft Community. I am glad to assist you on this.
    We have reproduce the issue here and we are able to access non-regional search for google using Microsoft Edge.
    I would suggest you to try the below steps and check if it helps.
    Step 1:
    Clear browsing data option of Microsoft Edge and check if you face the issue. To do so perform the steps below.

    1. Click on the More actions icon next to the feedback icon present on top right corner of the Project Spartan homepage.
    2. Select Settings and click on Choose what to clear.
    3. Check the boxes Browsing history, Cookies and saved website data and Cached data and files and click on Clear.
    Step 2:
    I suggest you to create a new user account and check if the issue occurs.

    2. Choose Accounts and then select Family and other users.
    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.
