Summary
Thursday morning, a widespread Microsoft outage blocked some users from logging into Teams, Outlook and Microsoft 365, with disruption reports surfacing across multiple sites and apps.
Downdetector flagged the problems, but Microsoft had not disclosed the cause or given a timeline for restoring normal access.
The outage hit core workplace tools used for email, messaging and cloud productivity, raising immediate questions about business continuity as the disruption continued.
Separately, Microsoft earlier this month filed a WARN notice for 605 permanent layoffs in Redmond as part of an Xbox restructuring expected to cut about 3,200 roles globally through fiscal 2027.
