Widespread outage hits Microsoft apps
CHICAGO (AP) – A widespread outage hit Microsoft platforms including Outlook on Thursday, with many users worldwide encountering trouble using their email accounts and other errors across the tech giant's suite of apps. Nearly 130,000 users on outage tracker Downdetector reported problems accessing Outlook just after 1:00 pm ET. New reports have since fallen from that peak, but many said they couldn't send and receive emails, or had trouble loading their inboxes altogether.
