Global Microsoft Outage Enters its 2nd Day: How Long Will it Last?

Christine Romans had a very personal measure of Microsoft's uneven recovery: hundreds of emails suddenly landing in her inbox.

"Yeah, about 7 minutes ago I got 250 emails," the NBC News chief business correspondent tells TODAY's studio hosts. After the silence comes the catch-up.

The report follows the global Microsoft outage into its second day, with disruption stretching across Outlook, Teams, Copilot and other services used by workplaces and schools. TechRadar editor Lance Ulanoff says there is no sign of a cyberattack and describes the reach across small businesses, large companies and universities.

Romans relays an important reassurance: emails have not been lost, she says; they are backed up in a queue. The segment does not offer a firm time for full restoration.

TODAY also includes social-media clips of workers treating the interruption as an unscheduled break. That same office humor runs through the comments, where viewers compare the shutdown to a school snow day and remember life before constant email.

The report reached roughly 94,000 views in 15 hours, far beyond TODAY's usual Shorts start. Its studio exchange captures the less relaxing part of recovery: the inbox filling up again.
