Hello


Has anyone's hotmail layout just changed without warning please? Looks blo*dy awful and I don't know how to change it back. Any tips please? Thanks.

    It sounds like it has defaulted to "focused inbox" which shws the emails Microsoft "think" you want to see.

    try and deselect it and see if it changes to how you want it

    Mine has changed this morning too. I already had the focused inbox set up, this is a whole new display. I'm not keen on it either but can't see any way to change it back.

    If you click on the settings cog, you can amend the "display settings" if that's any help?

    I can see how to get rid of the focused inbox (didn't know that before, thanks) but nothing to change the look back to how it was previously.

    At least your pain makes my pain better :) I thought it was just me (again).

    mine changed a couple of weeks ago and googling i couldn't find any way of changing it back, am just glad that i don't use it that much as my main one for comping is yahoo and i use it for everything else as well rather than a separate account for comping which it was originally intended for

    Mine has been like it for about 6 weeks.
    I wish they'd give you the option of tinkering with it to put it to how you want it, but they change it and that's that.
    I'd only just got used to the way it looked before, and then they messed about it with again.
    I seem to be getting more junk than before as well. Those new emithering rules were complete and utter rubbish.
    Be Lucky.

    I was told to log out of hotmail and log back in using https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?linkid=853938


    when you log back in, it gives you a 'what do you need help with' box, so I wrote I want to go back to old style blah blah.



    Maybe if we all did that, it would give them the message!



    The link did work.
