Microsoft reports outage of Office applications and services

Microsoft Corp said it’s investigating outages of some Office applications and services.

The issue is impacting “multiple Microsoft 365 services and features,” the company said in a post on social network X Tuesday morning. Microsoft 365 includes common productivity applications like Outlook, Word and Excel.

Earlier this month, some 8 million computers running on the Windows operating system crashed after the cybersecurity firm CrowdStrike Holdings released a flawed software update. Microsoft has also been grappling with the fallout from a series of cyberattacks that prompted the US government to issue a scathing report calling for company-wide changes.
