Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • bobbigmac Bob (@bobbigmac) reported

    @pauldambra @Outlook The cors errors suggest ad blocker (or browser feature if using say Brave) is blocking cross site cookies, allowing them for the parent domain might help. The other error harder to infer but service worker might be being stopped for too much work. Maybe just a v large message

  • greglow Greg Low (@greglow) reported

    @cbryden @Outlook There's a fix rolling out in next few hours. You can either rollback as per article or use web version in meantime.

  • CatharineB9 Catharine B (@CatharineB9) reported

    @Outlook @GCBlue I’m having problems too- please help!

  • saraheeebee Shop Girl (@saraheeebee) reported

  • Syenta1 Syenta (@Syenta1) reported

    Dear @Outlook why has your latest update broken my email client and stopped me being able to read emails? When will you fix this because I need to get my work done and while we have this situation I can't. Thanks in advance

  • _streetsahead Streets Ahead Estates (@_streetsahead) reported

    @JennyHuang @Microsoft @Outlook Yes same problem😰

  • thedevdrawer Dev Drawer (@thedevdrawer) reported

    If you are experiencing the @Outlook blank message issue try this. Open a command prompt and run the following, it will roll back your update.: "C:\Program Files\Common Files\microsoft shared\ClickToRun\officec2rclient.exe" /update user updatetoversion=16.0.13901.20462

  • sam_langers Sam (@sam_langers) reported

    @Outlook is there an issue with outlook atm? As emails are not syncing

  • bobbigmac Bob (@bobbigmac) reported

    @pauldambra @Outlook I think we're at the same point with Chromium (and maybe Gecko too) now as we were when IE was such a mess of software tumours that Firefox basically had to exist to fix some of the problems

  • stucodes Stu (@stucodes) reported

    @Outlook I have a ghosting event that I can’t seem to delete off my iPad ? Any suggestions how to go about fixing this issue?

  • jsnyder81 Jake Snyder (@jsnyder81) reported

    @jjx @Outlook Typically I would do this server-side and not in the client. Mail flow rule or something like that.

  • christymarx #BlackLivesMatter Christy Marx (@christymarx) reported

    @Outlook Most recent update has broken Outlook. The from and subject fields show up, but neither text nor images show up in the body of the email. How to fix?

  • RyanCartiers RyanCartier (@RyanCartiers) reported from Calgary, Alberta

    @Outlook Also, in app support FAILED to resolve issue and closed ticket for 2nd time. How do I reopen? Why is it taking 3 months to resolve Feb update issues? #customerexperience

  • ivancolaco26 Capt. Ivan Colaço (@ivancolaco26) reported

    @SeasickBoss @Outlook Wasted 5 hours trying to fix the problem. Anyway, just did a restore on my Dell and it is working again. Yay!

  • amigus Adam Migus (@amigus) reported

    I've been messaging in @MicrosoftTeams so much that I have been writing emails in @Outlook and hitting 'Enter' thinking I've sent the message. An hour later--when I think, "why didn't I get a response yet," I go back, facepalm, and hit 'Send.' *sigh* #Microsoft problems...

  • CasualSaints Michael D. Austin (@CasualSaints) reported

    @Outlook @kgiokaris Microsoft Outlook: Outlook 2019 is down for the count and your short-link goes exactly no where.

  • JennyHuang Jenny Huang (@JennyHuang) reported

    Does anyone use @Microsoft @Outlook for emails and having problems seeing their email's body text because they are blank😱? Called Microsoft customer service and not able to get support right away. Need to do some runarounds😬 What a day! Hope yours is going alright.

  • aunittech Aunittech (@aunittech) reported

    @RyanCartiers @Outlook Contact us we fix disabled accounts, with proof of previous accounts recovered thankyou

  • deanleigh Dean Leigh (@deanleigh) reported

    @Outlook search is so utterly broken. Continuing the trend of updating functionality downwards.

  • esteban 𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗯𝗮𝗻 (@esteban) reported

    @Outlook you guys seriously need to fix the usability on the web, clicking "j" sends to the "junk" instead of moving to older messages, also, clicking on the subject doesn't guarantee you are opening an email, you might be deleting that by accident.

  • bobbigmac Bob (@bobbigmac) reported

    @pauldambra @Outlook I spent most of last week trying to debug cross-domain cookie issues and saw this error a lot... I'd bet you a cookie it's something to do with adblock (or whatever variant you use). There's been a lot of subtle config changes in what they count as 'acceptable trackers' lately

  • joshofbass Josh Neal (@joshofbass) reported

    Years ago @Outlook let me sign up using a Gmail address as my login. Now, I can't log in to outlook on a phone because it keeps making my try to log into gmail. Good work

  • BR3NDA potato enthusiast (@BR3NDA) reported

  • MIH_Dee MMIH - Virtual Assistants (@MIH_Dee) reported
