I've just discovered I can't sign in to my Microsoft account. It says I need the consent of a parent or guardian. I've never had trouble signing in before.
It appears they think I'm now underage. at 66.
I tried ringing Microsoft only to find you can't talk to them on the phone anymore, they are online they say.
I went to Microsoft forums/chat rooms but can't submit a question without signing in .... great !
Rang a local computer shop he tried but couldn't help.
It appears I'm totally stuck. Can't sign in, can't get help from Microsoft.
Talk about frustrating.
Any ideas ?
P.S. The sign in email and password is not the problem.

Really ???
So it isn't just me then.
What is so special about a M$ account? I've never used, or needed one. Even less so these days as windows is only on a couple of my computers because of a piece of fruit that I inherited.
I'm out of my mind, but feel free to leave a message...
Wrong birth date on your account?

Yep, been there. It also wants a sign in.
Any sign in attempts gives me the following (pic) and if I click "I'm a parent or guardian" it circles back to sign in and then that pic again.
It's driving me around the bend. I was using Microsoft link to windows on my phone and now the phone keeps getting notifications for me to sign in as well.
(Link to windows is a PC app to view phone messages etc and some minor interaction with the phone)

Not sure if it's connected, but there's a Microsoft account phishing hack targeting businesses across the world with authentic-looking landing pages that, in reality, just steal sensitive data.

Absolutely.... this is M$' reaction to the upcoming changes in China's PIPL SCCs, which afaict were announce in April and come into effect June 1st.
I didn't read up hard on it (I don't use Bill's curse), but it seems like this is also locale/region based as well.
It's not much help, but you're using one of the most insecure operating systems out there, and this is the cost =^/

I have no trouble with Microsoft at all with appropriate protections. Although I can't even remember IF I have a Microsoft account or what it is. I don't log on to Microsoft, or Google or anything unless I have to for a particular reason. Pretty rare.
Look, it may sound a little drastic, but why don't you hit it with a hammer and do a system restore from a restore point BEFORE the trouble.....
Do you take backups? (you should) Regardless of the system you use.
The fact that there's a highway to hell and a stairway to heaven says a lot about the anticipated traffic flow.
see if this helps
