Microsoft Outages Across UK as Thousands Unable to Access Services

Microsoft confirmed an outage on Thursday, October 9, 2025, blocking access to Microsoft 365 services including Microsoft Teams and Exchange Online, and warned some users may be unable to access the Microsoft 365 admin center or authenticate.
Diagnostic data shows Microsoft engineers focused on load balancing infrastructure after detecting significant capacity loss across about 21 Azure Front Door environments in Europe and Africa regions, prompting rebalancing of dependent services.
Reports spiked to 500 on Downdetector as Multi‑Factor Authentication messages and Microsoft Entra single sign‑on fail, with one user saying, `No the issues are we can't get into azure or in tune.`
Organizations relying on Microsoft 365 face productivity losses as users are locked out, and administrators of the Microsoft 365 admin center cannot manage tenants or resolve issues.
Status is ongoing as of October 08, 2025, 20:44 EEST and Microsoft is posting updates on its Service Health Status page and Microsoft 365 Status X account; earlier this year, July and January outages showed recurring availability problems.
