Microsoft has been scrambling to resolve a massive global outage of its cloud services that has brought the work of millions of people around the world to a standstill.

The widespread disruption, which began late Thursday and stretched into Friday, knocked core workplace tools such as Outlook, Teams, and Copilot offline across more than 70 countries.

From U.S. corporations and British healthcare systems to government ministries in Japan and schools in Australia, organizations faced severe operational bottlenecks.

While Microsoft ruled out a cyberattack, engineers struggled with overloaded servers repeatedly crashing as traffic returned, delaying full recovery.
