Microsoft's Outlook and Microsoft 365 services suffered an almost two-day outage that affected millions of users around the world, with service gradually recovering by November 13, 2026. Some apps and features were still running in a degraded state, and some users, including Verge staff, reported their email access had been restored while mail flow could be delayed. TechCrunch reported the day-long outage began with Outlook and Teams and spread to much of Microsoft's cloud services, which Microsoft said it was gradually restoring. Ars Technica reported that an expert said the outage may be worse than the Amazon and CrowdStrike outages, with governments, hospitals and courts scrambling.
