Windows 10: My account was acting weird, telling me it was suspended/blocked. Why? Was it hacked or...

Pretty much the title. I've managed to find it was saying Your account has been temporarily suspended. Why? Where can I check the reason.

account blocked then suspended


My Outlook.com experienced both yesterdy. I did nothing wrong, have checked for malware and followed all the steps to be normal. I was told I was unblocked then when I sent an email it said I am suspended. After an hour on the phone, to no avail, I tried this am and after verifying I was normalized.
Someone was trying to access my account was the message that popped up.

Has this happened to you and why does this happen if you follow the rules?
What can I do to prevent this? I read about 2 step verification but this does not seem to help in this situation.
Thanks for listening,
Peter

The suspension and blocking is usually due to Spam be sent from your account...ie your account was hacked , usually they let you re verify it after a few days and get you to change the Password......

Ask friends and family if they got a Spam email from you , most may not see it unless they look in Junk Folder , usually the Spammer sends emails to all your Contacts at once but they are getting smarter only doing 30 or so at a time so it doesn't trigger M$ suspension now.

>>I sometimes did not close out of a site like my email. I now log off then log in Windows phone app for Android called Outlook.com.
They are having an issue as I read a MS thread which was saying to delete this account to log off instead of saying log off. I say this because once you delete the icon stays and to use it you just enter your user name and p-word.
This is clumsy developing at best and I think besides that there is an international language issue where delete should be log. I know that's a stretch but hopefully some one will read this thread and delete the Outlook.com mail account when done with it. It can be very costly when a company tells you your account is suspended or blocked especially if you follow the rules.
Good chatting with you
