Windows 10: 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 despe

is my minecraft account hacked?

Hi, my name is Kelly, and I'm an independent consultant and I'm here to help.

It's possible that your Minecraft account has been hacked, especially if you don't recognize the email address associated with it. Here are some steps you can take to try to regain access to your account:

Reset your password: Go to the Minecraft website and click on "Forgot Password." Follow the prompts to reset your password. Make sure to choose a strong password that you haven't used before.

Contact Minecraft support: If you're unable to reset your password or suspect that your account has been hacked, contact Minecraft support. They may be able to help you recover your account or provide further assistance.

Check for unauthorized purchases: If someone has hacked your account, they may have made unauthorized purchases using your payment information. Check your payment history to make sure there are no unfamiliar charges.

Enable two-factor authentication: Once you regain access to your account, enable two-factor authentication to add an extra layer of security. This will require a code to be entered in addition to your password when logging in.

It's also important to make sure your computer and any other devices you use to access Minecraft are secure. Run a virus scan and make sure your operating system and other software are up to date with the latest security patches.

Hi Ekqo,

Welcome to Microsoft Community.

Your account can be logged in on the official website and Microsoft Store, which means that it is completely fine to log in to the service and account.

You can flow these steps to try solve the issue:

1. Click search on the taskbar, type "services", and click to open the Service App in the search results.
   
2. Search for the services starting with Xbox in the Service list, and make sure they are all enabled.
   
3. Then, please reopen the Xbox app and the Minecraft launcher, and click Login to see if you can enter the account password to log in successfully.

Homegroup For Minecraft Servers Or What?

It looks as if the existing minecraft server will use the new system without modification - It needs to be able to access the computers on the network in a two way link, which is the standard for Workgroup and Homegroup

There is a complete step by step available, if you have any issues ...

Tutorials/Setting up a server – Official Minecraft Wiki

It's not something I have any direct experience with but a quick read suggests to me that you will not need to do Much if any reconfiguration of the existing server
