Microsoft's global Outlook outage persists as fixes fail

swissinfo.ch (French) —

Microsoft said Thursday that its attempts to fix a global Outlook outage have failed, with disruptions affecting products in 74 countries. The issue stems from high infrastructure load. The outage has impacted email, Teams, and the AI assistant Copilot, causing widespread communication failures for businesses and governments. Microsoft confirmed its applied changes are not producing the expected results and is exploring alternative solutions. Downdetector showed reduced outage reports in some areas, and Microsoft noted a limited recovery as it redirects traffic. No timeline for full restoration has been provided, with New Zealand reporting impacts on its embassies worldwide.
