Millions of Outlook and Teams users are waiting on Microsoft’s next status report, reportedly scheduled for 11:30 am India time on Friday, to learn if the long-running outage is close to an end. Engineers have so far struggled to bring services back to normal. Microsoft’s last message explained that its repair attempts set off a flood of internal requests between its routing layer and the servers behind it, overwhelming machines that could not forward the traffic. To cope, the company is spinning up extra computing capacity and forcing a recent network update onto servers that have locked up. Many of those servers have refused to take the update, slowing progress. The coming statement may confirm whether the added capacity is reducing strain, whether the frozen machines have been revived, and whether Microsoft is ready to commit to a time for full restoration. More than 10 hours in, the company still says there is no sign of hacking or malicious activity behind the disruption.
