Microsoft 365, Teams, Outlook, Azure And Other Services Recover After An Outage

• Microsoft has confirmed that the outage has been resolved now, and that service has been restored.
• The company stated that it had identified an external service dependency that contributed to the issues across multiple Microsoft 365 services.
• Earlier, users on Downdetector reported connectivity issues with Outlook on the desktop, while adding that they are also experiencing trouble connecting to the M365 admin center.

Update: Microsoft Corp. (MSFT) services, including Microsoft 365, Outlook, Teams, Azure, and Store are now operating normally following an outage earlier on Wednesday, with error reports having plummeted on the service tracking website Downdetector.

Service tracking website Downdetector showed a massive spike in Microsoft outage reports earlier in the day, with users flagging issues in accessing multiple services.

Earlier, users on Downdetector reported connectivity issues with Outlook on the desktop, while adding that they are also experiencing trouble connecting to the M365 admin center.

Some users also stated that while Microsoft’s health status page did not reflect the outage, they were unable to log in to the admin page due to an “internal server error” issue.

Microsoft shares were up nearly 2% in Wednesday morning’s trade. Retail sentiment on Stocktwits around the company trended in the ‘bearish’ territory at the time of writing.

Microsoft Confirms Issue Now Resolved

An official Microsoft account on X issued an update, confirming that the issue with its services has now been resolved.

“We've validated through service telemetry that our mitigation efforts were successful and service has been restored. Further details about the incident can be found in the admin center under MO1274150,” the company stated.

The tech giant stated in another post that it had identified an external service dependency that contributed to the issues across multiple Microsoft 365 services.

Other services like social media platform X, OpenAI’s ChatGPT, and Yahoo have also faced outages recently. X faced multiple outages in March, February, and January this year, while ChatGPT faced issues in November due to an issue at Cloudflare Inc. (NET).
