What to check first for Microsoft
For Microsoft, start by separating microsoft.com public reachability, sign-in and session refresh, and workspace dashboard. A reachable microsoft.com does not prove every Microsoft workflow is healthy.
- Confirm microsoft.com reachability and compare it with Official website.
- Test sign-in and session refresh and workspace dashboard before changing account, device, or DNS settings.
- If you see microsoft: workspace loads but actions hang, keep the timestamp, final URL, and failing action for support or incident review.
Official Microsoft sources
Use these provider-controlled or provider-owned sources after the live check, especially when the verdict is mixed or the issue only affects one workflow.
Official website
Confirms whether the primary microsoft.com web surface is reachable outside the WebsiteDown.org probe.
Microsoft 365 Service Status
Official Microsoft 365 service health page.
Azure Status
Official Azure public status dashboard.
MSFT365Status
Official updates for Microsoft 365 incidents.
Official Microsoft Social Profiles for Live Updates
These are provider-controlled channels from the source list above. They are useful during incidents, but they can still lag behind live reachability symptoms.
Common Microsoft outage signs
These patterns help distinguish full microsoft.com downtime from partial service degradation, account problems, or route-specific failures.
When Microsoft only fails for you
Use these steps when WebsiteDown.org or official sources suggest Microsoft is generally reachable, but your own session still fails.
- Run the live check, then test sign-in, workspace loading, and one save/edit action separately.
- Retry from a private window and a second network before changing SSO, VPN, or account settings.
- Capture workspace, timestamp, browser, and exact action before contacting Microsoft support.
How to check if Microsoft is down
Use this workflow to compare the WebsiteDown.org result with official sources, your own browser, and a second network before changing account or device settings.
How we check Microsoft
WebsiteDown.org checks public reachability for microsoft.com and separates that signal from product-specific symptoms inside Microsoft.
The Microsoft profile on this page is scoped to microsoft.com, categorized as Work Apps / Infra, and grouped under microsoft. It cross-checks related hosts (portal.office.com, azure.status.microsoft, outlook.office.com), uses verification sources such as Official website, Microsoft 365 Service Status, Azure Status, MSFT365Status, and compares nearby diagnostics including Azure, Xbox Live, Microsoft Copilot, Microsoft Teams so parent, child, and sibling service outages do not get blended together.
- microsoft.com Public Reachability: Confirms whether microsoft.com responds from regional probes before you investigate Microsoft app-specific symptoms.
- Sign-in And Session Refresh: Sign-in and session paths can fail while public Microsoft pages still load, so this is checked as a separate outage clue.
- Workspace Dashboard: Logged-in dashboards and admin surfaces often use different backend paths than the public Microsoft site.
- Document Or Project Sync: Tracks the document or project sync workflow as a separate Microsoft signal, useful when the homepage and user reports disagree.
- Permission Checks: Tracks the permission checks workflow as a separate Microsoft signal, useful when the homepage and user reports disagree.
Why trust this Microsoft check?
WebsiteDown.org keeps the live verdict, official sources, and service profile separate so you can see what is measured and what still needs confirmation.
- The live result is a reachability signal for microsoft.com from multiple regions, not a claim that every private Microsoft workflow is healthy.
- The service profile is built from curated diagnostic fields: checked surfaces, failure modes, related hosts, official sources, and limitations.
- Official Microsoft links are shown separately so you can verify provider-controlled status and support information before escalating.
