The service of Microsoft, the world’s largest tech company, suddenly came to a standstill. Lakhs of people are not able to even open their emails since Thursday afternoon.
On Downdetector, around 1.30 lakh users reported problems in Outlook since 1 pm. Many users were not able to send or open emails.
Thousands of users also reported problems in Microsoft’s Teams, Copilot and Microsoft 365.
The company said that there was suddenly a huge load on some servers. Many servers failed during the automatic health check, that is, they checked and shut down on their own.
Outage – still not fully fixed
The issue was already fixed for Teams in North America. Now most people are running Teams. Copilot was back for most users by 5 pm on Thursday itself. However Outlook/email is still stuck.
Meanwhile, Microsoft has made it clear that no evidence of hacking/cyber attack has been found in it. This is an internal error in the company’s own system.
Company doing trial to fix server
The company said – a core process of the server is being overloaded, due to which the servers are stopping responding. Now the company is adopting a new approach. Completely isolating a small part of the server and restarting it. Then gradually adding traffic to it and checking whether it lasts or not. If successful, the same method will be implemented on other servers.
