Microsoft 365 services restored after global outage

After a global outage hit many Microsoft 365 users for several hours, access and functionality of the services were restored on Wednesday, the company said. "We`ve confirmed restored access and functionality for all Microsoft 365 services," Microsoft said in a tweet from the Microsoft 365 Status handle.

Earlier the company blamed a "networking build" for the incident.

"We`ve identified and reverted a networking build that caused user traffic from the internet to Microsoft 365 services to intermittently fail, and are seeing early signs of recovery," the company said in a tweet earlier.

The incident revealed that the Cloud version of Microsoft Office is not infallible.

Some users took to Twitter to suggest a name change for the service.

"Time for a name change? Office363 perhaps?," said one user.

"Hope this gets fixed, we`re currently doing a client demo," wrote another user who attached a crying emoji with the tweet.
