hotmail signs me in then dumps me back at the login page

Enter email, password, approve the code, and it loops right back to the sign-in screen. Same on Edge and Chrome. Cleared cookies already. Oddly the phone app still gets my mail.

Extensions are the other big one. Privacy and ad blockers interfere with the redirects Microsoft does during sign-in. Turn them off for that site, or just test in a different browser. On Safari, Prevent cross-site tracking has done this to me too.

Login loop like that is nearly always cookies. Try a private window first; if it works there, clear cookies for the microsoft and outlook sites in your normal browser. Blocking third-party cookies completely can cause it too.
