How to Check Microsoft 365 Status and Fix Outlook Not Working"},"content":{"rendered":"

Is Outlook down, or is the problem only on your side? You can usually tell in under a minute: open Microsoft’s official service status page, then try Outlook in a web browser. If the status page shows an incident, the fix is on Microsoft’s side and you can only wait; if it shows everything healthy and the web version works, the problem is your app, your account or your device, and the steps below will fix it.<\/p>\n

This guide was prompted by the November 2026 Microsoft 365 outage, when many people could not reach Outlook, Teams and other Microsoft services for hours. Outages like that come back every few months, so it is worth knowing the checks before the next one.<\/p>\n

Quick answer:<\/strong> Check Microsoft’s service status page<\/a> (and the Service health page in the admin center if you run a work account). If Microsoft reports a problem, wait and use your phone or another channel for urgent messages. If Microsoft shows no problem, open Outlook in a browser: if that works, restart or repair the Outlook app; if the web version also fails, sign out, clear your browser data, try another browser and check your internet connection.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
