Microsoft is hit by a major outage that has crippled its 365 products for thousands of users.

The outage affected business communities widely.

Reports of technical failures began coming in early afternoon on Thursday, January 22, impacting core productivity platforms such as Microsoft Outlook, Microsoft 365, and Microsoft Teams.

The DownDetector confirmed over 45,000 reports were recorded for Microsoft 365 and around 40,000 for Outlook.

This hindered sending or receiving emails, accessing files, or joining team meetings.

The outage is confirmed by Microsoft officials.

The company’s 365 X (formerly Twitter) account stated that investigators “identified a portion of service infrastructure in North America that is not processing traffic as expected.”

Officials added that the team is working to restore the infrastructure to recover the service traffic.

Prior to one day, users experienced a similar outage that was attributed to a third-party networking issue.

As of now, Microsoft support teams are working to resolve the issue for the affected systems; however, a specific timeline has not been provided yet.

Microsoft advises its customers that updates are available on its official Cloud status webpage.

Meghan Trainor is swiftly shutting down criticism days after welcoming her third child via surrogate.

Speaking to People magazine on Wednesday, January 21, the Grammy-winning singer defended the choice after facing backlash online, calling surrogacy a “valid” and deeply meaningful path to growing her family.

“Surrogacy is just another beautiful way to build a family,” Trainor, 32, said. “It’s not something to whisper about or judge.” She further emphasised that “every family’s journey looks different, and all of them are extremely valid.”

Trainor explained that using a gestational carrier was not her first plan, but it ultimately became the safest option for her and husband Daryl Sabara. The couple, who also share sons Riley, 4, and Barry, 2, spent months consulting with doctors before making the decision.

The All About That Bass hitmaker also praised her surrogate, calling her “selfless, strong and loving.”

On Tuesday, Trainor announced the arrival of baby girl Mikey Moon Trainor with hospital photos on Instagram. “Jan. 18, 2026. Our baby girl Mikey Moon Trainor has finally made it to the world thanks to our incredible, superwoman surrogate,” she wrote, adding that her sons are already “over the moon in love.”
