O365 - OneDrive
2026-04-15 Status Description
01:57 PM Notice Service Restored

Title: Some users may be missing options to open files using custom file handlers in Microsoft OneDrive
User impact: Users may be missing options to open files using custom file handlers in OneDrive.
Final status: We've confirmed that a recent service update to OneDrive changed how custom file handlers were processed, resulting in impact. We completed a rollback of the identified updates responsible for this and confirmed through service-side testing as well as testing with previously affected users that this is mitigated. Due to cache storage, this can take up to 48 hours to resolve for all users. If users are in need of immediate remediation, please follow the articles below:
