Microsoft 365 Outages Disrupt Outlook, Teams, and Other Services

A problematic code change and ongoing technical issues have caused widespread disruptions for Microsoft 365 users over the weekend and into Monday.

  • Microsoft attributed a weekend outage affecting Outlook and other services to a buggy code update in its authentication systems, which has since been reverted.
  • The outage began Saturday evening and impacted services like Teams, Power Platform, and Purview, causing login issues and degraded functionality.
  • Although Microsoft claimed services were restored, users reported intermittent issues, particularly on iOS devices, requiring app reinstallation to regain access.
  • A separate Microsoft 365 outage on Monday disrupted Teams call functionality and affected users in Canada, with broader connectivity issues reported for services like Exchange and OneDrive.
  • Microsoft is analyzing telemetry data to address these recurring issues and plans to review its change management processes to prevent similar disruptions in the future.
