Windows 10: If my Microsoft account is hacked, will they have access to my PC computer?

Hi,Yesterday my account was hacked and they changed the primary email to something else, so I have no chance of logging in. Right now, my computer keeps telling me that I must verify my account with my Microsoft. I was just wondering if anybody who has compromised my Microsoft account could have access to my personal computer as well. Because they changed the email and password, I am currently logged out. That should be fine right?

Microsoft Account was hacked

Original Title: Accessed my account

How cans someone hack into my Microsoft account when I have the two step verification .. that can only be approved from my cell phone?

 

Microsoft Account Hacked - Cannot access computer, xbox, or Minecraft

My Microsoft Account was hacked. The person changed the email address and password on the account. I do have the email address it was changed to as my authenticator app has it tracked.

However, account recovery has not been successful. I've provided everything possible and it's still not enough information.

I've lost access to both of my computers running windows, my Xbox account, and my child's Minecraft account.

There is apparently no way to actually contact Microsoft and get this sorted out. I cannot even remove my billing details.

Does anyone have any ideas or suggestions for me? Getting desperate at this point.

 

Cannot access shared network drive


Personally, I wouldnt use Everyone. If anyone hacks into you, they have full access to everything and can demolish everything on your raid. I would rather set up accounts and access separately for each person. That way, I know who did all that damage. In the end with a little extra work, I feel more secure by using Authenticated Users.


If this helps.
step 1 create non-microsoft account and without email and address without admin rights
step 2 share a drive or folder to specific user account (if Everyone is listed, remove it)
step 3 set security > add Authenticated Users (if more than 1 account) or add specific users
step 3a remove Everyone from list
step 3b uncheck full control and write for all items listed except SYSTEM and Admin account.
step 4 right click Start > Computer Management > System Tools > Shared Folders > Shares ... to verify settings and change anything else. You can also see the number of connections to each share here.
