There was a significant Microsoft outage on October 9, 2025, affecting Microsoft 365 services including Teams, Outlook, Office 365 apps, and Azure cloud platform. The issue originated from a network misconfiguration in Microsoft Azure Front Door (content delivery network), impacting users primarily outside the United States in regions like Europe, Africa, and the Middle East. This caused widespread disruptions for users trying to access Microsoft 365 applications and services. The outage started around early morning UTC on October 9 and was mostly resolved by late afternoon UTC the same day. Microsoft confirmed that the issue was addressed by rebalancing traffic to healthy infrastructure, restoring the affected services. The disruption caused challenges in accessing essential tools such as Word, Excel, Outlook, Teams, and cloud services but the company communicated that full recovery was achieved within several hours.
As of October 10, 2025, there are no current reports or indications of an ongoing Microsoft outage.
