Using New Outlook on Windows for professional communication and productivity
Your Outlook problem is consistent with the broader Microsoft 365 outage affecting Outlook and other services in India on November 13, 2026, and Microsoft has not published a confirmed restoration time in the available updates.^1^
Reports indicate that recovery is still in progress and may be uneven, so restarting, reinstalling, or recreating your Outlook profile is unlikely to help while the service incident remains active.^2^
Check restoration progress
- If you are a Microsoft 365 administrator: Open Microsoft 365 admin center → Health → Service health → Active issues Microsoft is working on. Select the Outlook or Exchange Online incident to see its status, latest update, affected services, and any estimated recovery information Microsoft has provided.^3^
- If you are not an administrator: Ask your organization’s IT administrator to check that tenant-specific incident. Service-health access requires an appropriate administrator role.
- If the admin center is unavailable, check the public Microsoft service health status page.^4^
Wait until the incident status changes to Service restored, then close and reopen New Outlook. If Outlook still fails after Microsoft confirms restoration, report the issue to your IT administrator with the exact error message and whether Outlook on the web also fails.
