Microsoft Admin Center

Current status: We completed a restart of all affected infrastructure, however; this action did not fully resolve the issue. We’ve observed that error rates are starting to decrease but remain above normal levels. We’re reviewing recent changes made in the environment to determine whether a change could be contributing to the issue.    Scope of impact: Impact is primarily focused in the Central US region, any admin located in that region may be unable to access the admin center. This information may be updated as our investigation continues.    Preliminary root cause: A subset of infrastructure in the Central US datacenter entered an unexpected degraded state, resulting in disruptions to request handling.    Start Time: Thursday, April 2, 2026, at 6:30 PM UTC    Next update by: Thursday, April 2, 2026, at 10:30 PM UTC
