ملخص مفصل

Access is gradually being restored after a global outage hit Microsoft platforms, including Outlook, with many users having trouble using their email accounts and finding other errors across the tech giant's suite of apps.

Widespread outages have been affecting Microsoft platforms but the company says it is seeing positive results for server stability.

Earlier it said the outage was caused by a number of servers unexpectedly being unavailable.

Access is gradually being restored and Microsoft says it continues to work towards a full resolution.

Access to Outlook is gradually being restored, including in Australia, after a widespread outage hit Microsoft platforms, stopping many users from accessing their email accounts and encountering other errors across the tech giant's suite of apps.

Microsoft said it was not aware of any malicious activity causing the outage.

Beyond the immediate impact to inboxes, businesses and government agencies are reporting cascading effects on day-to-day administration.

Stores have lost email-based sales, patients have lost access to telehealth services and long-distance schools have shut for the day.

Thousands also reported issues with Microsoft's workplace messaging app Teams, its AI assistant Copilot and Microsoft 365 services.

The company posted an update just after 9am AEST saying it had begun a "gradual recovery" of access to its email and other online services.
