    @Outlook Kindly check issue in latest update, application crashes and don’t open after login

  • cryptofreelife_ CryptoMeta (@cryptofreelife_) reported

    @AntesdelAtardcr @Outlook Yes @Outlook are absolutely useless, I would use others. It’s nearly impossible to login sometimes even when you have the correct details. God knows what there developers do!

  • richsoansphotos RichSoans Photos/Videos (@richsoansphotos) reported

    And apparently, @Microsoft have stopped access for @Outlook on Chrome browsers. I can't sign in unless I'm using their Edge browser or Mozilla's firefox

  • cryptofreelife_ CryptoMeta (@cryptofreelife_) reported

    @Outlook Your most recent iOS update has fully broken the app - no longer opens, even if deleted and re-downloaded. Congrats to all developers involved in being totally unable to test before release, fire them.

  • CriticalBoomBot CriticalBoomBot (@CriticalBoomBot) reported

    Guys I figured out a temporary fix for the @outlook insta crash bug. Long hold the app, select calendar and then navigate to email.

  • Shuvam Shuvam (@Shuvam) reported

    @luisbull82 @Outlook They are using an AI algorithm for security. The problem is what they have fed into it. It's irritating, not being able to check your mails if you want to. They have become even better than Gmail at data mining, but at least Gmail is accessible, unlike this nonsense.

  • TRUEDYOR TRUEDYOR.eth (@TRUEDYOR) reported

    @nikitabier X offers terrible search functionality, almost close second to @Outlook Can we expect some improvement?

    @_ImNoooby @Outlook The Same issue I faced with my account, I tried to communicaete the support team,but it turned out all was in vain. @costomtech on X was the only positive help I got, I never thought I could have it fixed but he did.

    @Outlook have an Outlook login issue. The authentication process timed out with the error: 'Authenticator registration has timed out. Please choose “Next” to try again.' I've tried scanning the QR code and manually signing in, but nothing has worked. I've sent you a PM. Thank you

  • tazorack Taz 泰秀樂 (@tazorack) reported

    @Outlook You guys have learned nothing. Update the new desktop program for outlook. It is the web version of outlook and just as terrible as the web version of outlook. Cannot even do basic functions of the old outlook desktop program.

    @_ImNoooby @Outlook They don't care about their customers obviously why not hit up @costomtech on twitter he was the one who helped me when I had same issue

  • Shuvam Shuvam (@Shuvam) reported

    @Outlook What the hell is wrong with your services? When I try to log in, its "Too many requests' that too when I am trying to log in after some 4-5 days, each time? Anyone else facing this issue? Not a technical glitch. Some AI filter at work. Time to change mail providers.

  • guptasubhash365 HODLer dad🥇🏆 (@guptasubhash365) reported

    @Outlook what's up with you email service.. I can't login properly since last three weeks..

  • TexasTaff T9 MBE (@TexasTaff) reported

    @Outlook It takes a lot to get me mad. But @Microsoft has again managed it. Someone tries to hack my account, so they block it. I don't know my password and my verification email was blocked a year ago and the phone number is obsolete. To change a PW I've gone through 100s of hoops and full circle again and again. It's been 4 hours. To contact them...yes you need to sign in! I've filled the verification form in twice and been denied twice. I'm supposed to know what postcode I used for a email address over 20+ years and a Skype username I used once. In fact Skype isn't even a thing. Call a real person.....in your dreams. Microsoft can just fo

  • CPunella Carmine Punella (@CPunella) reported

    Calendar sync between Apple Calendar and Outlook is a nightmare. Never works as expected — and keeps dumping random meetings into my schedule. How is this still a thing in 2025?! Am I the only one? Please @Apple @Outlook, work together and fix this 🙏

  • bobbyrenu Tejinder Singh Renu (@bobbyrenu) reported

    @Microsoft @Outlook Kindly help me, I am unable to sign in to my more than two decades old hotmail account. It is saying too many attempts and remains logged out. How to proceed❓

  • theadonismilan ADONIS MILAN 🌟 (@theadonismilan) reported

    @Outlook I receive sooooo many spam and phishing emails that I report to you every time and no action has been taken to overhaul this issue. What’s next?

    Anyone else having trouble with @Outlook this morning. The app updated this morning and now keeps crashing

  • GavinHarris30 Gavin Harris (@GavinHarris30) reported

    @Outlook @Microsoft I believe my account has been hacked. Have been trying to contact you guys for a week but am hopelessly beaten by an endless cycle of bots telling me to sign in. Unfortunately I cannot do this as my password has been changed. Please Help or answer my DMs.
