By now, we’re sure you’re all aware of the global Microsoft outage that is causing significant technical issues around the world this morning.
Right now, the cause of the problem is still unknown.
There is also a separate global issue whereby Crowdstrike (an antivirus software) issued an update which has gone wrong. This update is bricking Windows devices, causing the so-called “blue screen of death” on PCs.
There is a workaround available – which has been issued by Crowdstrike if you’ve been affected by this issue.
The good news is that none of our clients use the Crowdstrike cybersecurity software. However, it is still causing significant issues around the world.
We’re working on fixes as quickly as we can – but you may find that throughout the day you experience issues with various Microsoft 365 apps and services.
Known problems so far include –
- PowerBI – Services may be in read-only mode
