Hi Lorenzo! My name is Darhyl and I’d be more than happy to help you with your query.

I'm sorry you are experiencing this with your Outlook account.

Kindly try to perform the following workarounds according to this article: https://windowsreport.com/microsoft-account-doesnt-exist/

"1. Check if the account name was typed correctly.

It is possible sometimes that, the account name was misspelled. Double-check if you typed it incorrectly.
If the account name was typed correctly, maybe the email address is incorrect or has been changed recently.
Make sure that your email has the correct domain at the end: @gmail.com, @outlook.com, @live.com, etc.
Try to log in using your old email address or phone number if they were changed.

2. Find your account name from your Windows 10 PC or Xbox.

Click on the Start button on the left side of your Taskbar, and select Settings.
Head over to Accounts, then Email & accounts.
Check your Microsoft account names under Email & accounts.
Another method would be to open any Office 2016 or 2019 app and create a new document.
Click on the top left corner where it says File, then select Account.
You can see your Microsoft account name under User information or in the Product information section.
One last method would be to sign in to your email associated with your Microsoft account.
Then, check for previous emails from Microsoft.
The previous emails from Microsoft will show your account name.

3. Make sure you’re using the correct account type.

An account that your workplace or school provided may not have a Microsoft account associated with it. So, you might need to create a new Microsoft account.
Normal accounts can be used for logging in for one or more services, such as Outlook or Microsoft 365.

Work or school accounts, however, cannot be used to connect to other Microsoft services, such as Xbox. Additionally, an Xbox Gamertag cannot be used to sign in to a Microsoft account.

The only valid ways to sign in are by using an email address, a Skype ID, or a phone number registered to the account.

4. Your Microsoft account might have been deleted.

If you have not logged into your account for more than two years and it has been closed due to inactivity, you will not be able to use the Account Recovery Form to recover your account. Reference: https://support.microsoft.com/office/7c0a9fa7-0982-b7c6-fd72-df852b63699f

Your Microsoft account may have been deleted. Microsoft will permanently delete any account which has not been active for the past 2 years. Also, you might have knowingly or unknowingly deleted your Microsoft account.

In this case, you can no longer access the Microsoft services associated with that account."

5. Your Microsoft account might have been compromised/hacked.

From the official Microsoft article: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us...-account-24ca907d-bcdf-a44b-4656-47f0cd89c245 try to follow the instructions in the interactive tool in order to recover your account.

Thank you for your kindness and understanding! Please feel free to let me know if you need anything else.

Best Regards,
Darhyl

It throws up this message when you try to sign up with out already being signed into the Windows Live ID that you are trying to attatch to the account.



This is because you are not signed into the Windows Live ID, the sign up is trying to create you a Windows Live ID under the name you are typing in, which of course already exists

Hi. Whenever I try and use one of the account recovery methods, it doesnt work. When I try and sign into microsoft account recovery with my email it says that the email doesnt exist. However, I know the account exists as I bought minecraft with it. Is there anything I can do about this or is my minecraft and microsoft account lost forever?
