Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • Ghoul_of_London ⚠️Skeleton O'Rourke⚠️ (@Ghoul_of_London) reported

    @MicrosoftHelps @outlook I reported via Feedback Hub a new, idiotic bug whereby when editing an Outlook (Office app) email, the edit field keeps momentarily and rapidly scrolling up/down. A very strange one and massively irritating and distracting. I hope this is fixed soon.

  • h_osman9 mainoo (@h_osman9) reported

    @Outlook my account is down and I can’t access some important documents. I’ve been trying for nearly an hour. Could you please offer some guidance?

  • GiddensVision Giddens (@GiddensVision) reported

    The new @Outlook design is really bad. I don't have the scientific words to explain it but the way they made the color and border makes your eyes wander involuntarily. Hard to focus. I hate it. Everything blends in. It's weird. Please get some UX and UI people to fix this mess.

  • penny_24t penelope (@penny_24t) reported

    @Outlook @sofritasoficial This is shockingly bad advice. Completely unhelpful. I am having similar issues - @Outlook needs to review their junk filter parameters. This is a recent issue so they must have changed something, resulting in this horrendous customer experience!

  • A7madAlNassan Ahmad Al Nassan (@A7madAlNassan) reported

    @Outlook When I go to the support page to talk to an agent to help me out, it says only admins can talk to an agent. This is a personal account and I am the ADMIN of my own account! How in the earth I can’t talk to someone!! You really need to fix this! PLEASE HELP ASAP. I need my account

  • teabell5 Cornish TeaBell (@teabell5) reported

    Name a single process more difficult than setting up a @Microsoft @Outlook email on your iPhone. There isn’t, I promise. Just horrendous. Nothing works. Gotta sign in 35 times and everything goes in circles. Awful experience.

    @meta, @Google & @Outlook you would be getting so much #money from fees charges etc, why aren't you using it to have real people in #support who actually respond to users request for assistance, fix the many bugs in the log in and out, notifications and #spam systems etc?
