# Outlook.com outage reports and status Canonical page: https://iszdown.com/now/hotmail Status: Repeated website check failures 24-hour window (UTC): 2026-11-07T18:10:00.000Z to 2026-11-08T18:10:00.000Z Recorded outage reports in this window: 0 Last successful estimated-activity check: No usable observation available Outlook.com is a personal information manager web app from Microsoft consisting of webmail, calendaring, contacts, and tasks services. Founded in 1996 by Sabeer Bhatia and Jack Smith as Hotmail, it was acquired by Microsoft in 1997 for an estimated $400 million and relaunched as MSN Hotmail, later rebranded to Windows Live Hotmail as part of the Windows Live suite of products. Microsoft phased out Hotmail in October 2011, relaunching the service as Outlook.com in 2012. ## How to interpret this page Estimated down reports are based on US problem-related activity. Values are relative activity from 0 to 100, not counts of submitted reports. The HTML chart averages samples into ten-minute intervals. Partial samples are excluded and missing samples are not invented. Recorded outage reports and estimated activity are separate signals. Neither confirms that every user is affected. Missing or stale data does not establish that a service is working. Methodology: https://iszdown.com/methodology ## Citation Cite [Outlook.com on Iszdown](https://iszdown.com/now/hotmail), include your access time and the observation time above, and qualify estimated activity as an estimate. Recheck before describing current status. Iszdown is independent of the monitored provider. ## Estimated activity samples No usable activity samples are available for this service in this window. ## Evidence and recovery Repeated website check failures. Two recent checks of the monitored website endpoint failed. This does not establish that the full app or API is down. No recent recovery can be established from available evidence. ## Website measurements Successful sampled checks (24h): 0% (0/128). Restricted checks: 0. Median response: Unknown ms. P95 response: Unknown ms. These are sampled public website checks from one US server, not continuous uptime or authenticated app/API tests. Missing data stays unknown. ## Daily outage history Dates use America/New_York. Green means no issues observed with sufficient monitoring; pink means official incidents, repeated website failures, or reports from at least three network addresses. Gray means insufficient coverage. These are daily evidence summaries, not guaranteed uptime. | Date | Daily assessment | Observed hours | Official incidents | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | 2026-10-18 | Service issues detected | 1 | 0 | | 2026-10-19 | Service issues detected | 21 | 0 | | 2026-10-23 | Service issues detected | 1 | 0 | | 2026-10-24 | Service issues detected | 24 | 0 | | 2026-10-25 | Service issues detected | 24 | 0 | | 2026-10-26 | Service issues detected | 24 | 0 | | 2026-10-27 | Service issues detected | 24 | 0 | | 2026-10-28 | Service issues detected | 24 | 0 | | 2026-10-29 | Service issues detected | 24 | 0 | | 2026-10-30 | Service issues detected | 24 | 0 | | 2026-10-31 | Service issues detected | 24 | 0 | | 2026-11-01 | Service issues detected | 25 | 0 | | 2026-11-02 | Service issues detected | 24 | 0 | | 2026-11-03 | Service issues detected | 24 | 0 | | 2026-11-04 | Service issues detected | 24 | 0 | | 2026-11-05 | Service issues detected | 24 | 0 | | 2026-11-06 | Service issues detected | 24 | 0 | | 2026-11-07 | Service issues detected | 24 | 0 | | 2026-11-08 | Service issues detected | 14 | 0 | ## About Outlook.com monitoring This page combines the available Outlook.com report activity, official product status, public website measurements, and daily history. Each measurement has its own observation time. A search spike alone does not confirm downtime, and a reachable website does not establish that sign-in or every product feature works. ## Troubleshooting ### Outlook.com will not open Compare your usual browser or app with a private browser window, then try another network if available. Save unsent work first. A difference between networks can help separate a local connection problem from a wider disruption. ### Outlook.com is slow or only one feature fails Record the affected action, exact error, and time. Compare the website response measurements with any official component incidents; loading a homepage does not test every feature. ## Frequently asked questions ### Is Outlook.com down right now? Repeated website check failures. Two recent checks of the monitored website endpoint failed. This does not establish that the full app or API is down. This page was assembled at 2026-11-08T18:11:14.000Z. ### How many Outlook.com outage reports are there today? The displayed rolling 24-hour window contains 0 recorded reports, from 2026-11-07T18:10:00.000Z to 2026-11-08T18:10:00.000Z. This is not a calendar-day total or a count of affected people. Estimated activity is shown separately as an estimate. ### Why does Outlook.com show operational when it is not working for me? An official operational status can coexist with a local network issue, account problem, or feature-specific incident. Compare the mapped components, recent incident updates, and regional diagnostic on this page. Automated website checks test public access, not your signed-in session or every Outlook.com feature. ### When was Outlook.com status last updated? No current product status observation is available for Outlook.com. Reports, estimated activity, and website checks can provide additional context. ### Has Outlook.com had outages before? The daily calendar links available incident evidence and retains daily monitoring summaries. Pink marks service issues, green requires sufficient observations with no issues observed, and gray means insufficient coverage. The collected history is incomplete and is not a lifetime outage count or a guarantee of uninterrupted uptime. ### How do I follow Outlook.com or report a problem? Use “Watch this service” to save Outlook.com in this browser’s watchlist, then return to compare its status with other saved services. Optional browser notifications can flag status changes while the watchlist page stays open and visible; background alerts are not sent. Use the problem-report button for an outage report; contact the provider through its official website for account, billing, or private support issues. Iszdown is independent and cannot resolve provider support tickets. ## Related services - [Outlook.com](https://iszdown.com/now/hotmail) - [Outlook.com](https://iszdown.com/now/outlook)
