Microsoft said its efforts to resolve a widespread outage affecting Outlook and other services were not progressing as expected on Friday, November 13. The disruption, which began on Thursday, affected email access, Microsoft Teams, Copilot and Microsoft 365 services. Nearly 1,30,000 users reported Outlook problems on Downdetector shortly after 1 pm local time, although reports later declined. Many users were unable to send or receive emails or load their inboxes, while thousands reported issues with other applications. Microsoft said it was investigating the disruptions and that part of its infrastructure was experiencing elevated load, likely contributing to connectivity errors. Thousands of users in India also faced disruptions. (PC: Hindustan Times)
