Microsoft outage: Outlook still down Friday morning

The Microsoft Outage continues into Friday morning, with Outlook, Teams, Copilot, and Microsoft 365 services still experiencing issues for many users. The problems began on Thursday afternoon, causing a significant increase in user reports for these major services, according to Downdetector. Microsoft has been providing hourly updates on X and its status page, but progress towards a resolution has proven more challenging than anticipated.

Despite efforts to improve serviceability, the company admitted on X that recent changes were not having the desired effect. The internet's response to the ongoing outage has been a mix of frustration and advice to "touch grass," as the situation remains unresolved on Friday morning. As of now, major services including Outlook are still unavailable, and Microsoft is actively investigating the cause of the incident, emphasizing that they are not aware of any malicious activity contributing to the outage.
