Microsoft’s worldwide Microsoft 365 disruption had generated more than 1,700 reports about Outlook in the Netherlands by about 7.45am on Friday, alongside more than 400 reports about Microsoft 365 and more than 100 about Teams, Nieuws.nl reported, citing the Dutch outage-tracking site Allestoringen.nl.
Microsoft said it was redirecting traffic and had seen partial recovery in regions where it had made changes. But the measures had not restored service for the long term, the company said in an update on X, adding that it was investigating further steps to improve the stability of its infrastructure.
International outage tracker Downdetector showed reports from 74 countries and territories. Microsoft software is widely used by consumers, businesses and governments.
The disruption follows other recent problems affecting Microsoft services. In an earlier outage, Microsoft said unexpectedly unavailable servers had strained its infrastructure and caused connectivity issues for Teams, Outlook and Copilot. Microsoft’s previous connectivity problems were reported the day before a separate worldwide outage.
