Microsoft is experiencing an outage plaguing its 365 services like Outlook and Teams.
‘We’ve disabled proactive caching to provide some relief. In parallel, we’ve tested and deployed a fix, which we believe will remediate the impact, the company’s Service Health Status pages states.
‘We anticipate that the fix will take approximately two hours to complete.’
Microsoft 365 includes a trove of applications, including Microsoft Teams, Exchange Online, SharePoint Online, OneDrive, Purview, Copilot, and Outlook Web and Desktop.
The company issued an alert around 7:45am ET, noting ‘Service Degradation’ for web services, and has advised users to access their Microsoft 365 apps and documents using the desktop applications.

Downdetector, a site that monitors online outages, shows issues hit Microsoft hours before the official alert was released.
The most reported problem is Outlook with 65 percent of users citing problems, followed by the Website and OneDrive.
‘Can’t login to my outlook via browser. Teams is working but is buggy. Can’t access the admin center either,’ Nathan Morin shared on Downdetector.
Another user posted: ‘Trying to login in to Outlook this morning and get the following: ‘We’re experiencing a service outage.
‘All of your open files have been saved. It may be some time before the outage is resolved.’. However, Microsoft itself isn’t reporting any issues!?? I even tried another browser…same notification.’
Downdetector’s outage map shows problems are largely focused along the East Coast, likely due to residents heading into the office.
While some issues are appearing in Los Angeles and Phoenix – but these locations have hours until they start their workday.
