Ahh the joy of WTF option that MS used to give and the question in your head "This will solve A, but what else will it do" or the famous three disk errors detected met with "Oh No, what doesn't work now", I lost MATLAB that way.

I'm not using a Home Group since not all my computers are Windows 10. Also, some of the computers have a local password and some don't.
I have to turn OFF password protected sharing

Marc,
You will probably find that Windows 10 has helpfully set your network on both computers to Public. To change this you have to go Homegroup in Control Panel (found under Windows System) and click on Change Network Location (or whatever it says), this will then force a pop-out from the right asking if you want to make your computer discoverable. You have to say yes. Then just don't continue with the Homegroup setup.
Was much easier when Windows would ask you if you wanted Public, Work or Home network. You will find that you will be set back to Public network after each major Windows 10 update.

If spooning leads to forking, should you use condoments?

Asians use chopsticks and Indians use their hands.
Curious then, that despite not forking there's a lot more of them.

Setting up the wife's laptop and am up to installing Office 365. So I sign in to her Microsoft Account (only used to install Office) and it is telling me that it has been suspended as it was used to send a lot of spam or something else that isn't good.
Bullshite, she hasn't received any warnings to her actual email and I have set a stupidly long password that is not a word.
They now want a phone number to send a code too. I'd rather suck a dog off than give a phone number online. All Microsoft accounts, Gmail accounts, Banks and everything else don't have a phone number associated with it.
I have just setup a 2nd Microsoft account for myself a bit earlier and it didn't require a phone number.
Anyone know how I can get past this and get her Microsoft account back up and working or do I need to ignore it and create another account for her?

Wouldn't you just like to reinstall from your office from your CD?
Not exactly 365 now is it?
I'm really anti-cloud for this reason. That on any day, for whatever reason, at the most inconvient time, you won't be able to get at what's rightfully yours because you let it someone else hold it for you.

Absolutely spot on, only thing that's changed it what the bits are called.
Much cheaper for companies to put a new sticker on an old item and sell it as "the latest" than actually give us something new. Hell microsoft gave us a text editor albeit called visual studio code with fancy macros "plug-ins" ... give it a year or two and they might add a gui (called something else) to it: viola, another new brand new product.

It is Office 365 as mentioned in the original post. The CD/DVD would be good except for all the follow up updates to download and install.
Until now Office 365 Home Subscription has been pretty painless through multiple installs and renewals.
So I probably should have been waiting for Microsoft to faarrrkkkk me over.

Hi Michael,
I hope, you are talking about Office 365 account. In this case, you need to contact the Office 365 support to re-enable her account. If you have admin account, you could probably try resetting her credential in Office 365 admin portal, but I doubt, it will give any fruitful result.

It is a Microsoft account that is used to access/control an Office 365 Home Subscription to allow me, wife, son and daughter to use Office on our computers. I doubt there will be an Admin Portal available.
I have given access to the subscription to each of their Microsoft accounts for installation. This should be a no issue slam dunk installation but Microsoft just want to faarrrkkkk things up for sh*ts and giggles.

Thanks for reminding me. My harddisk has not died yet, but I'm going to boot it from a stick and try some stuff out.
