Microsoft 365 Outage Stretches Past 18 Hours as Fixes Falter - tech|
| (hx) 04:21 PM CET - Nov,13 2026 | Microsoft 365 services including Outlook, Teams, and Copilot stayed disrupted for more than 18 hours after problems began on November 12.
Microsoft said the outage was caused by a large number of its own servers becoming unexpectedly unavailable after failing automated health checks, which overloaded the remaining systems.
The company has ruled out a cyberattack and is restarting servers, redistributing traffic, and testing patches, though some restored servers have become unresponsive again under load.
Recovery is gradual and incomplete, with partial improvements reported in parts of North America, Europe, and Asia Pacific, but capacity has not returned to normal and no full restoration timeline has been given.
Downdetector recorded a peak of around 130,000 Outlook problem reports, and the disruption affected businesses, airlines, and government users worldwide.
Microsoft recently offered voluntary buyouts to about 60,000 employees, but it has not connected the outage to staffing changes.
Users are advised to monitor the Microsoft 365 service health page for the latest updates as recovery continues.

last 10 comments: | heretic | (04:26 PM CET - Nov,13 2026 ) | | Microsoft is STILL suffering a GLOBAL outage for 24 hours straight, people can't log on and GOVERNMENTS are being impacted 74 nations' governments, businesses and schools can't get into Outlook More than 430 MILLION people can't get in and Microsoft has been incapable of fixing it "The outage was not caused by a cybersecurity breach." It blames failing server health checks on its email gateway, and there's still NO ETA for a full fix. Genuinely insane! ? |
