Windows 10: Why can't I access my laptop during a security info change?

This is patently absurd on the part of Microsoft. Because I change my recovery number to my actual phone number, I can't use my laptop anymore?Is there seriously no way around this?I hope whoever chose that specific design function gets locked out of their computers as well, so they too can enjoy losing 30 days of work :But seriously, can someone help with this?

Hacked: Change security info

I followed the steps and thats how I managed to reset the password on him/her, but when I go to account setting to remove their email it says:

"You can't access this site right now

This site requires a security code to sign in. When your security info updates on 1/3/2019 you will be able to access this site. You can still access sites such as Outlook and Skype that don't require a security code.

On 12/4/2018 you requested that your security info be replaced.

Current security info

Alternate email: *** Email address is removed for privacy *** "

That alternate email is also the hackers, so I cannot cancel the security change. When I try, it asks to send an email code to it.

Thanks a ton btw for the quick reply, I'm worrying my butt off every moment haha.

 

How to change password for login without verifying security info?.

Hi Samuwella,

Sorry for the loss, not to worry we will try our best to assist you with the issue you are facing with Windows 10 account security.

Lets follow the below steps to fix the issue with Windows 10.

1. We Suggest you to refer to the below article on "Get back into your Microsoft account if it's been compromised".
https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/10494/microsoft-account-get-back-compromised-account

2. Also refer to the below article on "How do I replace my security info"?
https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/10634/microsoft-account-replace-all-security-info

3. Two-step verification helps protect you by making it more difficult for someone else to sign in to your Microsoft account. It uses two different forms of identity: your password, and a contact method (also known as security
info). Even if someone else finds your password, they'll be stopped if they don't have access to your security info.

LAPTOP is not accessible ..... Access is denied.

I am trying to share a folder on a LAPTOP. I have other a number of other systems that have folders Shared and they work fine, but with this one I get the error "LAPTOP is not accessible ..... Access is denied." when I try to access it from a different Win10 system. So I went thru the entire "How to Share Files and Folders Over a Network in Windows 10" tutorial step by step. File and Print Sharing is enabled, SMB1.0 client & server are running, and Everyone has Full Access to the Share. Still get the error. I have tried it with the Network Public and Private, with the same result. Any suggestions ? Microsoft Windows 10 Home Version 10.0.19042 Build 19042
