Do you think the OS version has changed, or
just the version of your unstated email tool ?

Microsoft Account Login implies many things.

Note that the gmail.com interface  (in Firefox as webmail)
has changed, it seems to use a cookie for authentication, and
I don't know how long the cookie lasts, before you have to type
your password again in that case. The gmail changes may have
inspired Microsoft to copy them

winver.exe      # tells you the OS version

File Explorer on C: and look for the existence of
Windows.old, tells you whether the OS was upgraded
recently (swacked). The generally don't gratuitously
change OS versions on you, but there has been one report
where a user swears they did not touch an interface offering
to upgrade the OS, and it upgraded anyway.

You're painting us a picture in your post, of a "something happened",
but you haven't given enough detail to say where we are:

1) Windows 10 Mail application (terrible!)
2) MSO and Outlook <versionnumber> for mail
3) Doing webmail in Firefox.
