WCSD, city of Reno among the thousands affected by Microsoft outage
City and state government offices, the University of Nevada, Reno and Washoe County School District are among the Microsoft users across the country that have lost access to Outlook's email services on Thursday, Nov. 12. The Nevada Attorney's Office posted on social media to expect email delays to and from its office. The city of Reno is also affected. While national media has reported the outage affected fewer than 100,000 users, thousands of people in Washoe County are without access to email and other Microsoft products, including Teams and Copilot. Outage tracker Downdetector said about 54,000 users were still experiencing issues with Outlook around 1:30 p.m. with another 21,000 reporting problems with Microsoft 365 . Microsoft said within the last few hours, some servers had been "successfully returned to service" and that it was working to apply the fix more broadly. "We're aggressively pursuing all pathways to reduce impact. We've paused all deployments, we're moving additional traffic off the affected infrastructure, and we're restarting affected servers to return them to service," Microsoft said in a social media post. USA Today contributed to this report. This article originally appeared on Reno Gazette Journal: WCSD, city of Reno among the thousands affected
