Microsoft restores services in Asia-Pacific, works to fix outages elsewhere

Microsoft has announced that users may experience difficulties accessing its services, with operational capacity not yet returned to normal levels.

The company clarified that there are currently no indications of malicious activity linked to the outages, adding that it has made further progress in restoring service to parts of its infrastructure in the Asia-Pacific region.

Microsoft stated it is now focusing on expanding repair efforts to address affected infrastructure in other regions.

Previously, Microsoft services experienced technical disruptions impacting several applications, including Microsoft 365, Outlook, and Teams, leaving thousands of users in the United States unable to access them.

According to Downdetector, a website that monitors online service outages, more than 130,000 reports of issues with Outlook were received by 1:27 p.m. Eastern Time, noting that these figures are based on user reports and may not reflect the actual number of affected users.
