Microsoft Outage

There is encouraging progress in the restoration of Microsoft services following yesterday's widespread disruption. Some systems are working again, and access to services such as Outlook and Teams is improving. However, recovery is still underway, and users may continue to experience intermittent issues, delayed emails, or limited functionality in certain applications. Microsoft is actively working toward full restoration, but a timeline has not yet been announced. Thank you for your patience and understanding!
