"Adult version of a free school period," I was told by someone while discussing the Microsoft global outage after laptops got stuck on a blue screen, coming as a bless⛎ing in disguise for employees across offices.
A massive global outage of Microsoft 365 apps and services resulted in blue screens on laptops for thousands of people, hit operations in a⛦irlines, banks, markets and offices across spectrums, but the meme army was at its creative best on social media.
Microsoft 365 posted on X that the company was “working on rerouting the impacted traffic to alternate systems to alleviate impact in a more expedient fashion” and that they were ♐“observing a positive trend in service availability.”
The company did not respond to a 🌳request for comment. It did not explain the cause of the out🌟age further.

As IT teams across offices got flooded with call🦄s and queries regarding the sudden issue on laptopns, memes reflected the situation on a light note on social media.
Airline operations worldwide were affected, as were in India, where SpiceJet, IndiGo, Akasa, and Air India took to their social media handles and informed of�� the disrupt🦹ions in services due to the Microsoft global outage.
Globally, the Microsoft cloud outage led to US a🌃irlines cancelling flights, but✅ the tech giant later reportedly said its cloud services outage in the Central US region has been resolved.
Crowdstrike Update Behind Outage?
A new Crowdstrike (cybersecurity software firm) update was being cited as the cause of the outage, which 🥀has impacted Windows-based desktop and laptops.
Microsoft, crowdstrike and Windows are trending 𝄹on X (formerly Twitter).
On the 🃏outage tracking w🐼ebsite Downdetector, users reported problems across Microsoft line-up including Azure, and Teams.
