Microsoft 'Blue Screen Of Death' Outage: Full List Of Services Hit In India

Millions of Microsoft windows users were experiencing the “Blue Screen of Death” error

New Delhi:

Services across multiple sectors were affected worldwide today due to a technical problem at the US tech giant Microsoft and American cyber security company Crowdstrike.

Millions of Microsoft Windows users were experiencing the “Blue Screen of Death” error that caused their computers to shut down or restart.

Microsoft said the preliminary root cause was a “configuration change” in a portion of its Azure backend workloads. It caused interruption between storage and compute resources which resulted in connectivity failures that affected downstream Microsoft 365 services dependent on these connections, the company said.

“Our services are still seeing continuous improvements while we continue to take mitigation actions,” Microsoft said in a post on X.
