Microsoft restores Outlook, Teams after 24-hour outage hit 70 countries

Microsoft restored Outlook, Teams, Copilot and other services after a global outage that disrupted users in more than 70 countries for over 24 hours. The company said the failure stemmed from an issue during an earlier network capacity upgrade that surfaced after a recent network change. Microsoft said services had fully recovered, though it had warned some users could still see intermittent issues during the recovery. In Singapore, GovTech said government Outlook services were fully restored by 11 p.m. on Nov. 13, while agencies including Singapore Customs and the Immigration and Checkpoints Authority resumed online forms and email-linked services.
