Someone’s inbox did not load and someone had trouble sending and receiving emails. Microsoft 365 and the company’s AI tool Copilot were also affected. Users lodged complaints from America to India and many parts of the Asia-Pacific region. The employees dependent on these services for their daily work in offices faced a lot of problems. In many places the work done through email and other digital tools got stuck.
At one time, complaints regarding Outlook on Outdetector, a website that monitors outages, reached around 1.30 lakh. About 50 thousand complaints were also registered for Microsoft 365. Microsoft made technical changes to fix the problem and tried to handle the affected servers and network traffic. But initial recovery efforts were not as successful as expected.
