Nationwide Microsoft Outage Affecting Public Services in Southern Nevada
Microsoft said it is investigating widespread connectivity issues as Southern Nevada agencies report delayed email responses and DMV customers face transaction problems.
- On Thursday, November 12, 2026, a nationwide Microsoft Outlook and 365 outage disrupted email services across Southern Nevada, affecting government offices, schools, and the University of Nevada, Reno starting at least 10 a.m.
- Microsoft indicated that a configuration update caused servers to become overloaded, resulting in connectivity errors across multiple regions; the company ruled out any cyberattack involvement.
- Outage tracker Down Detector recorded nearly 130,000 reports of Microsoft 365 issues at peak, while the disruption persisted for more than 12 hours as Microsoft worked to recover frontend servers.
- The Nevada DMV and Bureau of Land Management reported operational delays, with Bureau officials closing Red Rock Canyon scenic loop "until further notice" due to the disruption.
- Microsoft reported some servers were "successfully returned to service" by Friday, though Chip Paswater with Las Vegas IT Service noted that 24/7 online service reliance makes outages inevitable.
