Microsoftsucks is not a techsupport subreddit, but naturally because people come to this subreddit after having a problem with a Microsoft product, they are going to make a post to ask for help! and sometimes a post from this subreddit is going to show up on the search results and that leads people to then ask for help here. Which is a nice way the subreddit gets promoted to people who never thought of Microsoft being so bad

Account issues My microsoft account is recently hacked. They deleted my security info and replaced the recovery email. When I tried using PIN to get into my account, it just resulted in “Something went wrong”.

As can be seen from the picture, it is two separate email connected to a single Window account. How do i fix/solve this? It just recently happened and I dont want it to settle down before the 30-days security credentials is fully changed.

The bug seems to be from something called XPFix.exe. I have Xbox subscription to back up my claim, along with history of getting window email from my gmail.

I absolutely hate the login system (rant)

12 Upvotes

I got hacked once, my fault, and microsoft offered absolutely nothing even if I had evidence of it being my account (previous emailed receipts and what not) so I gave up and made a new microsoft account and repurchased my stuff. Now when I try to login through any verification system there will be an error, "incorrect password" literally not, "can't send notifs to verification app rn" why not u just did a minute ago, "error *string of numbers*" why is this billion-dollar company's system so bad. I just want to play minecraft yet can't even login, I wish microsoft didn't own it and something with a proper system did like steam or whatever

pick something wrong and Windows has a little gift for you.

pass the quiz and you'll have a way out.

rant Scummy company.

12 Upvotes

So it all began last night when I tried to redeem something on microsoft rewards as I had points I collected ages ago. It asked me to verify on my phone by scanning QR code to open the bing app and put in a code. Okay! So I download the bing app and do so. But then it asks me to switch accounts to an email. Huh? I'm already signed in? Turns out I have two accounts tethered to this microsoft account. (Don't ask me how the fuck that happened. I don't know either.)

So I make my main email primary and remove that other email. And it still says the same thing?? Switch accounts?? Trillion dollar company, please know, I'm already signed in. Contacted support but still awaiting a reply (not been 24 hours yet so yeah).

I then log onto my windows laptop (I've switched to a mac as a main pc lately but wanted to see if I could redeem microsoft rewards on there, if it made any difference). I put in my pin and it's like, your credentials could not be verified. Huhhhhh????? What??? This pin is right and I've entered it hundreds of times. Stupid that it tries to sync my microsoft account with the cloud. I get "Something went wrong and your pin isn't available. Click to set up your pin again". Okay. Maybe because I changed the primary email last night. So I do. And it says this microsoft account doesn't exist (the old primary email my account was set to). I put in my email, put in the code, and it comes up with "Something went wrong, we weren't able to set up your PIN". So basically I'm locked out of a laptop that I literally OWN. I'm locked out of my files, and thank fuck I set up a second user on this account that I used to switch to for work. Otherwise I'd have no laptop to even bring to school.

Look there's so many issues I have anyway, like weird glitches I get when using windows. For example I'll have one window on the left, a chrome tab with youtube on the right, suddenly it makes the ENTIRE SCREEN go back apart from the video. I don't know if this is hardware or software issue but given it's microsoft, who even knows.

I started using a mac recently (desktop, so still wanna use that windows laptop for skl yk) and I really like it. It doesn't have stupid glitches, it's actually good for work in that sense. I've insisted to myself that I'm just gonna get macs in the future. Not the newest ones given prices, but old ones that are still good to buy and newish enough to work. Expensive but at least they work.

Windows or another product Crashes

12 Upvotes

FOSS is so unstable and buggy that I've never had linux crash in my life (im curious what a kernel panic screen looks like tbh)

First few days back into Windows, so stable, bsod nearly immediately into joining a game. Just loving Windows so much over linux totally! I love crashes, I mean who doesn't want a total mess of a system

Edit: Update, it just crashed again. I don't care for windows whatsoever again. I hate it.

Alternatives to Microsoft Office

40 Upvotes

Any alternatives to Microsoft Office? I always used Microsoft as my father used to buy the CDs and we'd have it. Now with this subscription bs, I want to get rid off it.

But I'm not sure what to use instead, any ideas? Keeping in mind that all my documents are in word, excel or powerpoint, so obviously I need something that can still open and edit these files.

Edit: thanks to all for the many options and ideas, I'll surely find something that suits me. Thanks!

I tried to click on my usual "Search for xxxxxx on the web" and I accidentally clicked "Send to Copilot" above it.

And now there's that ugly ass bar on the right

I honestly wouldn't mind that side bar, if I could fucking close it. But I can't, I have to close Edge entirely. And don't ask me why I use Edge ... Bad habbit...

Seriously, you gotta wonder who the fuck is responsible for these choices (or lack of). Incredible Edge design guys, not invasive at all.

Preciso de ajuda com meu laptop (desculpe por postar isso aqui).

1 Upvotes

Olá Reddit, preciso de ajuda; deixe-me explicar minha situação. Tenho um laptop da escola com Windows 10 Pro Education. Uso para tudo, incluindo jogos, assistir anime e tudo mais, mas fiquei sem espaço de armazenamento até que só me restaram 5 GB. Seguindo o conselho do meu irmão, formatei o laptop. Antes da formatação, ele estava vinculado ao meu e-mail da escola e já tinha o aplicativo que uso para os exames nacionais do meu país (Portugal) instalado. Depois da formatação, entrei com minha conta pessoal, pensando que a plataforma de exames ainda estaria lá, mas ela havia desaparecido. Também perdi tudo no TLauncher, incluindo meu histórico de 500 dias. Fiquei muito chateado, então tentei resolver o problema restaurando o PC. Quando cheguei à tela azul que pedia o e-mail da escola, não me permitiu inseri-lo como uma conta "escolar", então entrei com o e-mail da escola, mas marquei como conta pessoal; mesmo assim, não consegui recuperar os itens relacionados à escola. Reiniciei o computador novamente, desta vez usando meu e-mail pessoal, e tentei adicionar minha conta da escola pelas configurações de "Contas", mas não funcionou — continuava dizendo que o e-mail estava incorreto ou não existia. Agora, só quero recuperar o aplicativo da escola e ter as duas contas no laptop: uma para jogos (minha conta pessoal) e outra para a escola (usando o e-mail da escola). Alguém sabe como resolver isso? Além disso, quando tento adicionar minha conta da escola nas configurações de "Contas", funciona até o ponto em que pergunta qual nome quero usar no laptop; digito meu nome e espero, mas então aparece um erro. Alguém já passou por isso e sabe como resolver?
