Title: Users may be unable to view or use the scroll bar after composing an Outlook on the web email using the "To" button
User impact: Users may be unable to view or use the scroll bar after composing an Outlook on the web email using the "To" button.
More info: Specifically, the scroll bar for contact lists may not appear and while we work on remediation, users may be able to search for the intended user or utilize the desktop client as interim workarounds.
Current status: Our HAR log analysis has focused our investigation to a potential code issue associated with the scroll bar within Outlook on the web. We're further analyzing a portion of the Outlook on the web code to help us confirm our findings and to isolate our next steps for remediating the impact.
Scope of impact: Any user serviced by the affected infrastructure who is attempting to compose an email using the "To" button may be impacted.

Title: Some users may experience delays of up to five minutes accessing Outlook on the web and its features

User impact: Users may experience delays of up to five minutes accessing Outlook on the web and its features.

Current status: We've developed and are preparing to deploy a service optimization to alleviate impact immediately. In parallel, we're continuing to review potential long-term restoration plans to fully resolve this issue.

Scope of impact: Some users whose request are routed through the affected subset of infrastructure may see delays when accessing Exchange Online or leveraging features through Outlook on the web.

Start time: Monday, April 1, 2024 at 10:00 AM ADT

Root cause: A recent infrastructure update deployed a code change to an authentication component, which is causing the component to consume more resources than the infrastructure can handle, resulting in impact.

Title: Some users may experience delays of up to five minutes accessing Outlook on the web and its features
User impact: Users may experience delays of up to five minutes accessing Outlook on the web and its features.
Current status: Our investigation so far of the HAR logs capturing impact has identified unusual resource load within the components of infrastructure responsible for facilitating the affected Outlook functions that may be contributing to impact. We're investigating the components where this behavior was detected to isolate the precise root cause of impact and identify a path to remediation.
Scope of impact: Some users whose request are routed through the affected subset of infrastructure may see delays when accessing Exchange Online using Outlook.

Title: Some users' quarantine notifications aren't being received in their configured mailbox language in Exchange Online
User Impact: Users' quarantine notifications aren't being received in their configured mailbox language in Exchange Online.
More info: Affected users may incorrectly see that all quarantine notifications are being received in English when their mailbox has a different language configured.
Current status: We've determined that a recent standard service update inadvertently contains a code regression, which is resulting in impact. We're deploying a fix to repair the regression and anticipate impact will be remediated by our next scheduled update.
Scope of impact: Impact is specific to some users with quarantine notifications enabled who are served through the affected infrastructure.
Root cause: A recent standard service update inadvertently contains a code regression, which is resulting in impact.
