Massive Microsoft Outage Affecting Many in New York

If you're having problems with things like Microsoft Outlook, you're not alone.

A global issue is affecting Microsoft services, causing headaches for many New Yorkers at work and beyond. Several people have reported being unable to access Outlook, Teams, Office, OneDrive, and more.

While many people do have access to these services still, slow loading times and glitches have plagued users since this morning. It's common to open an email in Outlook, for example, and wait a considerable amount of time for it to load.

Microsoft is actively working on a solution, but it's unclear when those issues will be resolved. The outage comes as a busy Thanksgiving week begins in the United States. Several businesses rely on Microsoft services to manage multiple aspects of their business. Hopefully, the issue will be resolved quickly.

Unfortunately, there isn't much for you to do if you are affected. If you need to transfer files, try using Google services like Gmail or consider using DropBox, to name a couple of things.

It doesn't appear that Xbox gaming services, including Xbox Live, are down.
