Microsoft said it had detected a problem affecting users around the world using programs such as Teams and Outlook.
The technical issue was reported on the Downdetector website, with users in the UAE affected, while reports also spiked in Australia, Britain, India and Japan.
“We're investigating issues impacting multiple Microsoft 365 services,” Microsoft 365 Status tweeted.
“We've identified a potential networking issue and are reviewing telemetry to determine the next troubleshooting steps.
“We’ve isolated the problem to networking configuration issues, and we're analysing the best mitigation strategy to address these without causing additional impact.”
It then added that it was rolling back a network change “that we believe is causing impact. We're monitoring the service as the rollback takes effect”.
Microsoft's service health status web page listed the following services as being affected: Microsoft Teams, Exchange Online, Outlook, SharePoint Online, OneDrive for Business, Microsoft Graph, PowerBi, M365 Admin Portal, Microsoft Intune, Microsoft Defender for Cloud Apps and Microsoft Defender for Identity.
Microsoft on Tuesday announced its fiscal second quarter net profit dropped more than 12 per cent, as the company took a $1.2 billion hit following its decision to cut 10,000 jobs.
The company's net profit dropped to $16.4 billion in the three months to the end of December, from the same period a year earlier, the company said.
Microsoft 365 Consumer — a bundle of various apps — subscribers increased to 63.2 million at the end of the last quarter, up 12 per cent on a yearly basis, the company said.
Earlier this week, Microsoft announced the third phase of its long-term partnership with ChatGPT-maker OpenAI through a new multiyear, multibillion-dollar investment. The agreement follows Microsoft’s previous investments in the company in 2019 and 2021.
'The worst thing you can eat'
Trans fat is typically found in fried and baked goods, but you may be consuming more than you think.
Powdered coffee creamer, microwave popcorn and virtually anything processed with a crust is likely to contain it, as this guide from Mayo Clinic outlines:
Baked goods - Most cakes, cookies, pie crusts and crackers contain shortening, which is usually made from partially hydrogenated vegetable oil. Ready-made frosting is another source of trans fat.
Snacks - Potato, corn and tortilla chips often contain trans fat. And while popcorn can be a healthy snack, many types of packaged or microwave popcorn use trans fat to help cook or flavour the popcorn.
Fried food - Foods that require deep frying — french fries, doughnuts and fried chicken — can contain trans fat from the oil used in the cooking process.
Refrigerator dough - Products such as canned biscuits and cinnamon rolls often contain trans fat, as do frozen pizza crusts.
Creamer and margarine - Nondairy coffee creamer and stick margarines also may contain partially hydrogenated vegetable oils.
