Hotmail can't attach files

Frustrating! Don't worry, I'm here to help you troubleshoot the issue. Here are some possible reasons why Hotmail might not be allowing you to attach files:

  1. File size limit: Hotmail has a file size limit of 10 MB. If your file is larger than this, you won't be able to attach it. You can try compressing the file or splitting it into smaller parts.
  2. File type restrictions: Hotmail may not allow certain file types, such as executable files (.exe), scripts (.js), or certain types of multimedia files. Check the file type and try to attach a different file.
  3. Browser issues: Sometimes, browser extensions or add-ons can interfere with file attachments. Try disabling any extensions or add-ons and see if the issue persists.
  4. Outdated browser: If you're using an outdated browser, it might not be compatible with Hotmail's file attachment feature. Try updating your browser to the latest version.
  5. Hotmail account issues: There might be an issue with your Hotmail account, such as a temporary glitch or a problem with your account settings. Try logging out and logging back in to see if the issue resolves.
  6. Firewall or antivirus software: Your firewall or antivirus software might be blocking the file attachment. Try temporarily disabling these programs to see if the issue resolves.
  7. Hotmail's attachment limit: Hotmail has a daily attachment limit of 20 MB. If you've reached this limit, you won't be able to attach any more files until the next day.

To troubleshoot the issue, you can try the following:

  1. Check the Hotmail help center for any known issues or updates.
  2. Try attaching a different file to see if the issue is specific to the file you're trying to attach.
  3. Check your browser's settings and ensure that the file attachment feature is enabled.
  4. Try using a different browser or device to see if the issue is specific to your current setup.

If none of these solutions work, you can try contacting Hotmail support for further assistance.
