Microsoft not working for you?

If we show Microsoft as up but it won't load for you, try these steps:

  1. Sign out and back in. Expired sessions cause many 'not loading' errors.
  2. Check whether your company network, VPN or firewall blocks Microsoft.
  3. If the website fails, try the desktop or mobile app, or the other way round.
  4. Check Microsoft's official status page for problems with specific features.

More fixes: DNS, router, VPN and more

Is Microsoft down right now?

Why is Microsoft not working for me?

If Microsoft is up for us but not for you, the cause is usually local: an outdated browser cache, a DNS problem, your internet connection, a VPN or ad blocker, or an out-of-date app. Work through the steps under "Microsoft not working for you?" above.

How do you check if Microsoft is down?

Our server requests https://www.microsoft.com/ every 2 minutes from outside your network. If Microsoft answers at all, even with a redirect or a sign-in page, we count it as up. Timeouts, refused connections, DNS failures and 5xx server errors count as down. Press "Check now" to run a live test at any time.

Does Microsoft have an official status page?

Yes. Microsoft posts official status updates at status.cloud.microsoft.
