Is Outlook Web App Terribly Slow? An Essential Guide to the October 27th Outage.

Why is My Outlook Suddenly Broken? Instantly Check the Status of Today’s OWA Problem.

Users are reporting significant problems with Outlook on the Web (OWA) today. The issues seem to point to a service disruption on Microsoft’s end. Initial reports from a few users quickly grew. Now, public outage-tracking websites show a rising number of people facing the same problems.

If you use OWA, you might be experiencing one or more of the following issues:

  • OWA loads very poorly or not at all.
  • Important interface elements, like buttons, are not displayed.
  • Logging in results in an endless loop.
  • An empty OWA window appears with a “No synchronization” message.
  • The entire app selection panel on the left side is missing.

These symptoms suggest a problem with Microsoft’s servers. At this time, Microsoft’s official status page and X channel have not posted an update about this disruption. For now, the best action is to monitor official Microsoft channels for updates. Attempting to fix this on your own computer will likely not work, as the issue appears to be with the service itself.
