Microsoft reports progress fixing global outage, but Dutch hospitals and businesses still affected

Microsoft reports progress in resolving a global outage affecting its Microsoft 365 services, including Outlook, Teams, and Copilot, though hospitals, municipalities, and businesses still face disruptions. The company cited encouraging recovery in Europe, with more users regaining email access, while Japan has stabilized and North America shows improvement. Microsoft warned that users may still encounter issues as restoration efforts continue. The outage, caused by overloaded server processes, began Thursday. In the Netherlands, universities, municipalities, and regional broadcasters are affected, with Amstelland Hospital unreachable by email and Euronext advising phone calls over email.
