    Hi, let me help you.

    Microsoft hasn’t given a recovery time. Microsoft hasn’t provided an estimate for when service will return.

    You can visit this website: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/support/known-issues/fixes-or-workarounds-for-recent-issues-on-outlook-com

    You can also visit their social media page on X.com and search for Microsoft 365 Status, where Microsoft posts updates.

    Check the Microsoft Service Health Status page for live Outlook.com incident updates and any restoration estimate Microsoft has published: Microsoft Service Health Status. Microsoft directs Outlook.com users to this page for access, sending, and receiving incidents.^1^

    Where to track updates

    • Personal Outlook.com/Hotmail account: Use the public Service Health Status page above.
    • Microsoft 365 work or school account: An administrator can also open Microsoft 365 admin center → Health → Service health for tenant-specific incident details.^2^
    • Known Outlook.com problems and workarounds: Review Microsoft’s Outlook.com known-issues page.^1^

    Expected recovery time

    A reliable timeframe exists only when Microsoft posts an estimated resolution time or next update time in the incident notice. If the status page does not show one, no official ETA is currently available.^2^

    During a confirmed service outage, account changes, password resets, or reinstalling Outlook generally are not outage-tracking steps; monitor the incident until Microsoft marks it resolved. If Service Health shows Outlook.com as healthy but the problem continues, use Help → Contact Support in Outlook.com, or the sign-in support option on Microsoft’s known-issues page.^1^
