    Microsoft Account 30 day lockout due to update of security method


    My 19 year old god daughter university student attempted to uninstall a windows update win 11 back to win 10 because she was nervous of the changes ! which has resulted in her laptop now requiring the bit locker security key. She logged into her microsoft account and noticed her second recovery e-mail was her high school e-mail so updated it to her mobile phone, however this now has resulted in the section of her microsoft account where the bit locker recovery key is stored being locked for 30 days.For the life of me I can not find any way for her to request microsoft wave the 30 days, so I

    Account Lockout Policy is not working


    Hello guys,

    I have Windows 10 Enterprise build 10240 on my Dell Tablet (32 bit) and Oracle VM (32 bit). On both system, I tried to setup Account Lockout Policy in Local Security Policy. I have Account Lockout Threshold = 5, Lockout Duration and Reset Lockout Account Counter = 30 min. However, after locking my account or signing off, my account is not locked after 5 and more failed logon attempts. This feature worked correct on my Windows 8.1 system with the same account lockout settings.
    Does anyone experienced the same behavior? Any explanation or fix?

    Thank you very much,

    30-day lockout

    An attempt to change my password has moved me directly to 30-days in Microsoft jail. It is amazing that this is the best form of security available.

    It convinced me to abandon all Microsoft programs outside of Windows 10. What a mess.

    30-day lockout

    Which password are you referring to? Did you have any failed attempts or were trying to change password from an unknown location? There is a lot more AI built into the Microsoft cloud platforms now to try to spot malicious activity around logins, so if
    it thought you were trying to brute force an account it might have locked things down. An inconvenience but actually a good thing if you think that the same thing could happen to someone trying to breach your account. Would be worth contacting Microsoft
    support directly for assistance they should be able to unlock once you prove you are the account owner.
