Microsoft Outlook: Global failure causes massive user problems!

Microsoft is currently fighting with a massive technical disaster that severely limits the use of Outlook and Microsoft 365 worldwide. Users report both desktop and Mobile devices from serious access problems. The fault platform allestoersungen.de recorded a dramatic increase in malfunction reports, which supports the assumption that it is a global problem. On Saturday afternoon alone, the platform Downdetector registered over 34,000 reports on Outlook and almost 20,000 to Microsoft Office 365, which affects tens of thousands of users. In Germany alone, more than 3,700 users spoke of restrictions on Office 365.

The reports of the disorders are alarming: Many users on various social media are desperate about the inability to access their emails, load their calendars or to open important applications such as PowerPoint. It is particularly worrying that the mobile Outlook app for smartphones is also affected by these disorders and no longer works as usual. Microsoft officially confirmed the problems via X (formerly Twitter), but remains unclear when the disorders can be remedied. A specific time frame has been missing so far, and there is currently no official information on the cause of the technical difficulties. The users are therefore faced with a uncertain waiting game, while Microsoft works to solve the problems.
