How to fix Microsoft Azure not working
Microsoft Azure is up on our end, so if it won't work for you, the problem is most likely on your side. Work through these in order:
Check the live Azure status
Microsoft Azure is operational, with 100.00% uptime and 2 outage reports in the last 24 hours; the last outage was more than 24 hours ago. If you search "is Microsoft Azure down" or "is Microsoft Azure down right now", compare the Microsoft Azure server status page with a Microsoft Azure down detector.
Refresh the Azure portal session
For "Microsoft Azure not working today" or "Microsoft Azure outage today 2026", sign out of the Azure portal, close the browser, then sign in again. Try a private window if the portal still shows a blank page or repeated login errors.
Check your network and DNS
If "is Microsoft Azure working" has a different answer for other people, check the Microsoft Azure network status page, restart your router, and test another DNS service. A blocked port, stale DNS entry, or local firewall can stop Azure access while the service remains online.

How we track Microsoft Azure
The status on this page comes from user-submitted problem reports for Microsoft Azure, counted in 15-minute windows over the last 24 hours. Each window is compared with the normal level for Microsoft Azure, so a few complaints on a quiet day don't trigger anything, but a sudden jump well above normal does.
When reports climb well above normal, the status here changes to partial outage or major outage and the chart moves with it. This is separate from Microsoft Azure's official status page: user reports tend to show a problem early, while the official page confirms the cause. If the two disagree, check both.
