Microsoft scrambles to fix global outage

[superadmin]

PARIS – US tech giant Microsoft said today it was working to fix a networking problem that had left users across the world struggling to access tools like Outlook and Teams.

Thousands of incidents were logged by the tracking website Downdetector, with complaints spiking in the hour from 0700 GMT (about 3pm Malaysian time) and particularly affecting users in Asia and Europe.

“We’ve isolated the problem to a networking configuration issue, and we are analyzing the best mitigation strategy to address it without causing additional impact,” the firm said in an update at 0900 GMT.

Microsoft did not reveal how many users were affected and did not respond to AFP requests for comment.

But its update said the issues were causing problems in several apps on the Microsoft 365 online office suite, which has more than 300 million users.

Teams, a messaging programme for companies, and email client Outlook are among the most widely used.

Every time I reinstall Windows, it seems like I have to deal with reactivating everything all over again. This time, Office refused to accept my original activation. It was frustrating because I had important Excel spreadsheets I needed access to. After trying every fix I could find, I landed on ms office activator. Their guide explained why this happens and how to reactivate Office using a KMS method. It worked instantly, saving me hours of stress. Now, I always bookmark activation guides before reinstalling anything.
