Microsoft Apologizes to Users for Widespread Outage Disrupting Xbox, Outlook, and Minecraft

Microsoft is experiencing service outages affecting its cloud-based offerings, impacting products like Outlook, Xbox Live, and Minecraft. The outages began around 7:45 a.m. ET, attributed to an "unexpected usage spike" in Azure cloud services. Reports peaked for Minecraft around 9:30 a.m. ET, with improvements noted after 10 a.m. ET, but no estimated time for complete resolution was provided. This incident follows a significant outage caused by a software update from CrowdStrike that affected approximately 8.5 million PCs worldwide. The previous outage disrupted operations for airlines and airports, leading to potential legal action from Delta Airlines against CrowdStrike. Microsoft’s VP for Windows services emphasized the need for "mission critical resiliency" and a shift from on-premises solutions to cloud management alternatives.
