Microsoft 365 apps have been experiencing an outage since early this morning that is mostly affecting email and calendar services on Exchange, Outlook, and Teams.
As reported by Deadline, over 5,000 people have reported issues with different Microsoft 365 apps since around 8 a.m. ET this morning. The outage is affecting worldwide usage of email and calendar services associated with Exchange, Outlook, and Teams.
We're investigating an issue impacting users attempting to access Exchange Online or functionality within Microsoft Teams calendar. For more information, please refer to MO941162 in the admin center. Microsoft posted on X during the morning to acknowledge the problem and has since deployed a fix that, as of around noon, has reached 98% of the affected environments. The fix involves “manual restarts on a subset of machines that are in an unhealthy state.

At 2 p.m. ET, Microsoft published another post announcing further delays with the fix and apologizing for the impact on businesses. As of the time of writing, the company has yet to provide an estimated time for full restoration.
We’re facing delays in our recovery efforts and are taking immediate action to address them. We understand the significant impact of this event to your businesses and are working to provide relief as soon as possible. More details can be found in the admin center under MO941162.
Microsoft has not elaborated on the “recent change” it cites that is causing the problems. Perhaps coincidentally, however, Monday also marked the launch of the latest Recall preview, which is now available for Windows Insiders to try out and test. The feature — which takes regular screenshots of your PC and allows you to search for anything you’ve looked at on it — is due to be rigorously tested by security professionals to see if Microsoft’s privacy claims are accurate and well-implemented.
