The company said the disruption began at 10:20 PM UTC on Wednesday, July 9, and the next update on the matter is expected at 2:00 PM UTC on Thursday, July 10. It is possible, some information might be provided to users about when the services will be restored in this update.

On the social media platform X, the affected users have expressed their frustration over the recent Outlook outage.
