Whenever I try to do this I get the following answer: 

You recently updated your security info

We have a waiting period for the updates to take effect. On 23/8/2013, we'll delete your old security info:

(gives me an alternative email address I never use)

Once this has been deleted, you'll be able to verify your account with info you have access to. If you didn't make the updates, or if you still have access to the above info, cancel the updates.

 

Therefore that means that I have to wait a month for something or other but in a couple of days time my subscription will run out and I am not able to put my new Visa details in the system. There is no one human I can call or email and so I am stuck and I will lose all my emails.  I have had a Hotmail account for approx 10 years and I have a lot of stuff on this account that I don't want to lose.Please could someone advise me how I can urgently edit my bank details and overcome this problem (without too much technical jargon) and in a way that works? Thanks, Patricia

Hi,
I just went onto Sky Drive and found almost all my photos had disappeared. I just have empty files. I have searched other users' problems, and it seems I am not the first person to experience this problem, and that Microsoft have not published any fix (they just said things like "oh, maybe you deleted them, check the recycle bin..." er, no, I didn't do that). 

I'm in the process of getting them back now - I've had to open up my old, slow, almost dead PC where the folders were stored originally and re-sync them. But I shouldn't need to do this! I've uploaded them so I don't have to worry about my old PC dying on me... This is exactly one of the problems Sky Drive is supposed to solve. So, Microsoft, can you provide some sort of explanation? Or should I just switch to DropBox or Google Drive or one of the miriad other cloud storage services which seems to work properly?
Thanks
Being the bright spark I am I forgot to note down the password for one of my emails and didn't update the recovery email address. And since Microsoft recently disabled the account linking for security reason I can't hop in that way to gain access. I'm posting this here as I couldn't find a way to directly contact Microsoft about this issue and was hoping for help either in that manner or somehow resetting my password without the use of the questionnaire because every time I've tried to use it is mentions how I haven't provided enough information. I didn't use this email to send emails out, only to receive them from specific online accounts I created. And I didn't customise folders. So the only thing I can do is guess at the address and name because honestly I can't remember half the "details" of the account. All I know is one application I have, Trillian, is connected to the account and shows the number of emails I have, but I can't use that to hop into my account either.

Some swift help of any kind with this would be appreciated.
