Microsoft 365 has announced it is investigating poor performance issues with its services and features.
The complaints mark yet another global outage with users struggling to access emails, Xbox and other 365 functions.
The outage started at about 9:15 a.m. EST, and the company claims the incident is currently only impacting users in Europe.
The outage comes less than two weeks after Microsoft servers experienced a global outage that grounded thousands of flights and disrupted banks and emergency services.
Microsoft 365 is experiencing outages on its email servers and Xbox and Minecraft services
‘We are investigating reports of issues connecting to Microsoft services globally. Customers may experience timeouts connecting to Azure services,’ Microsoft said in a post on X.
‘We have multiple engineering teams engaged to diagnose and resolve the issue. More details will be provided as soon as possible.’
The company added that ‘more information can be found under MO842351 in the admin center.’
However, despite Microsoft’s comment that users can get additional information on its service page, the site freezes and it won’t load any updates about the outage.
DownDetector has received hundreds of reports from users since 8 a.m. EST who have complained that they can’t access their email on the app or in a browser and people aren’t receiving scheduled calendar invitations.
People have taken to X to complain about the outage with one person writing that both their Xbox and Minecraft is down.
‘Who at Microsoft’s bright idea was it to have so much be reliable on one system?’ one user wrote.
‘That is really bad practice. I literally can’t do my job because it’s down again.’
