Beeinträchtigung oder Ausfall?: Dienste down? - Was Ihnen Microsofts Statusseite verrät

A global Microsoft outage has affected not only businesses but also individual users. Those interested in seeing how various Microsoft services are faring can check the same place as business customers – "status.cloud.microsoft". This global status page for Microsoft's online services lists entries for Microsoft 365 (Business or Enterprise), the cloud platform Azure, and the Power Platform developer tools management portal – all services for businesses.

At the very bottom, consumers find the services for private users. However, at the bottom of the English-language page, visitors discover Microsoft Consumer Products – Microsoft products for private users, ranging from the AI assistant Copilot to the online storage OneDrive and the email service Outlook.com.

On Friday, November 13 at noon, Microsoft set all these products to the status "affected" (service degradation), which indicates a problem, rather than a complete outage, which would be marked as "Outage". The specifics of the impact read: "Users may not be able to access Microsoft 365 services or perform certain actions within them."

The company explained the current status by saying: "We are continuing to work on several fronts to determine the cause of the issue and ensure the recovery of the affected environment. This issue impacts Outlook.com, OneDrive, OneNote, Microsoft To Do, Teams and Microsoft 365 for the web; it may also cause problems with other Microsoft 365 services."
