If you can’t access your email account, get information on how to recover your hacked account.
I dont know what to do, any advice for me ?, i am a emailless person now.
thanks
The OP's quest made me suspect he run out of recovery options like didn't put 2nd email, phone, forgot recovery question and etc, as these are pretty straight forward.

Hi Jan, it's sad to see that in 2018 there are still people using windows...
... and back in the real world....
Hi Jan, it's sad to see that in 2018 there are still people using windows for online stuff, in the age of hundred gigabytes SSDs where you could have made a small 100GB partition, install Ubuntu or Linux Mint and surf worriless . If you need to use some MS only program, boot on windows and use it, but don't go online, or you'll get p0wn3d, in the best case you'll mine coins and spread propaganda and spam, in the worst case you'll lose all your money and get you identity stolen.
I'm not a Linux user so I hope you can explain how using Linux on your own PC prevents theft of your personal information from third party servers?

None of this would happen when using Linux, because:
- The normal user account is not a privileged account, no programs are installed without your consent and even with your consent is difficult .
- Reduced attack surface due to better security architecture and not the least because the Linux distributions are fragmented and isn't worth building personalized exploits.
- No Adobe Reader anymore (big win), rarely the flash works.
Microsoft decides to comply to eu laws today. GPDR.
To protect minors of course.
Here another topic of someone who’s underage kids can no longer acces their Microsoft account, including all files for school and steam games since windows won’t login either.

Jeroen is right, it has to do with the EU law.
I have the password of my hotmail.nl account offcourse,
can i still hack it somehow ?, or is it hard to hack if you have the password already ?
I went to microsoft because google had something new : they read your emails for you,
so after i had hotmail, microsoft also started to reading your mails,
Don't be paranoid. Emails have never been private or confidential. In the early days they were sent over the wire in plain text for everyone to read. Maybe they still are.
After that, start lobbying your legislators about annoying laws and consider voting for people who will oppose them.
OK, so it seems to be real. But I still surprised there is so little discussion of it online. It seems like something that would prompt lots of questions and complaints, yet a search with relevant keywords didn't even turn up that Microsoft link.
It's unlikely to be discovered by the user, and certainly not by antivirus software since no Linux user I know runs that.
I think the biggest thing that keeps Linux users safe on the web is their low profile (there aren't that many of them, it's not that interesting to target them)...
... and they're higher level of knowledge (they tend to do stupid/risky stuff less often.) It's really not because the people making Linux know something that the people making Windows don't.
The biggest reason I use Linux whenever I can then is not security, but control. It happens a lot less often that my computer is doing sneaking stuff behind my back with Linux than it does with Windows or OS X. And it's much easier for me to adapt a Linux system to my way of doing things, than to do the same with Windows and OS X. But I perfectly understand if that isn't a convincing point for people – having control, and using productively it takes a considerable amount of effort. If they don't want to spend the time and accept the small pain of adapting themselves to the computer instead of the other way round, that's perfectly fine too.

So, in my experience I've never ever heard of some Linux desktop remote exploit, browser hijacking and similar stuff, of course the human factor will still click links in the mails and go to PäyPal.com, but this unavoidable.
