Microsoft outage disrupts Outlook, Teams, and OneDrive for millions

A widespread Microsoft outage is disrupting services for millions of users for a second day, affecting apps like Outlook, Teams, and OneDrive. The tech giant is working on a fix after reporting initial recovery signs. Microsoft attributes the issue to servers becoming "unexpectedly unavailable," causing an elevated load that strained infrastructure, and denies any malicious activity. The outage has impacted UK police forms, NHS GP surgeries, and some airlines' email support, with OpenAI also reporting related issues. Microsoft says it is seeing positive results from a configuration patch and is expanding it to affected servers. The company has not provided a full resolution timeline but promises a detailed post-incident report once the issue is fully mitigated.
