About Microsoft
Microsoft is the maker of Windows and Office; microsoft.com is its main website with downloads, documentation and the online store. Outlook, Teams, Office 365 and Windows Update run on separate addresses, so a problem with one service does not always affect the website. Microsoft has limited sales of its services in some countries under sanctions, which affects accounts rather than access to the site. A check by country shows whether microsoft.com answers from each place.

Frequently asked questions
Is Microsoft down right now?
Not for most of the world. In our latest check on 13 November 2026, 21:06 UTC microsoft.com opened from 83 of 84 countries. If it does not open for you, the cause is more likely local: your provider, your network or a restriction in your country. Run a new check to see the current result for your country.
Why does Microsoft not open in my country?
When microsoft.com works in other countries but not in yours, there are three usual reasons: a restriction ordered by authorities, filtering by your provider, or a network problem between your provider and Microsoft. A different security certificate, a reset connection or a wrong address from DNS are typical signs of filtering; a timeout can be either filtering or a network fault.
How is microsoft.com checked?
From measurement points in about 90 countries we look up the address of microsoft.com with the local DNS and open a secure connection to it, checking that the site returns its own certificate. We do not load the page content, and we do not publish which networks the measurements came from.
