## Summary

Microsoft Outlook and Microsoft 365 services are recovering after an outage lasting almost two days and affecting millions of users worldwide. Microsoft said on Friday that it was seeing broad recovery and stability, while some users still faced degraded features or delayed email; the disruption also affected SharePoint, Teams, Copilot and other 365 apps.

Microsoft traced the incident to a problem during an earlier network capacity upgrade that surfaced after a later network change. It said the outage was not related to cyber activity or AI agents, and that services were restored gradually to check stability across regions. The company said it would publish a full post-incident report after its review.
