Microsoft Services Stabilizing After Global Outage Affected Denmark

Microsoft services are gradually stabilizing after a global outage affected Outlook, Teams, and Copilot. The disruption impacted users across Denmark and 73 other countries.

The problems began around 5 p.m. Danish time on Thursday. They continued into Friday morning. Many servers became unexpectedly unavailable during the incident. This increased traffic and pressure on remaining operational servers.

Microsoft has ruled out a cyberattack. The company believes increased server loads caused the disruption. By Friday noon, operations were partially restored in the Pacific region. Access to email inboxes also improved.

More than 430 million people worldwide use Microsoft 365 services. This is the second major Microsoft outage reported in 2026. Microsoft plans to publish a detailed report once issues are fully resolved. Source: CPH Post.
