Microsoft is racing to restore its services after a global outage disrupted businesses and government agencies, leaving users unable to access workplace software in one of the company’s most significant technology failures in years.

The disruption, which began on Thursday and continued into Friday, left users unable to send or receive emails through Outlook. It also affected Microsoft Teams, its Copilot AI assistant and other Microsoft 365 services.
