- Microsoft issued a solution, but suspiciously continues to monitor for an additional “optimization”
- Outlook has had a good amount of problems in recent months and years.
- Another outlook pasta problem is also being addressed
Microsoft is addressing delays and failures in the search functionality for Outlook on web and SharePoint online, and it is reported that the problem goes back to low performance infrastructure components (through Bleeping computer).
Locate session at EX1063763, Microsoft promises to have implemented a solution, but the company continues to monitor system performance to guarantee a complete resolution.
First recognized at 05:21 UTC, an UTC update of 08:22 confirmed that the services had returned to normal, about three hours after the problem was first reported.

Despite confirming that the service has returned to normal, the company said: “We are validating and implementing a solution to improve short -term performance parameters by performing a monitoring period.”
“In parallel, we continue to review the telemetry data to determine if additional optimization actions can be required to completely remedy the impact,” Redmond added.
This is not the first time that Microsoft online services have experienced interruptions; In fact, it is becoming a trend. In March, Outlook on the web and the new Outlook client experienced a problem with the search due to a code error. That was tracked under ex1035922.
In the same month, a global interruption prevented access to online exchange mailboxes through Outlook on the web, and before that, the search for outlook.com failed in July 2023, which caused 401 errors.
Today, however, it is not just the search that broke for Outlook. The ‘Paste Special’ shortcut is currently affecting Classic Outlook.
“Starting with the current channel (version 2503 Build 18623.20156), when using the Ctrl+Alt+V shortcut to paste special, nothing happens,” Microsoft confirmed on a separate support page.
Redmond confirmed that the problem is solved, but users still have something to do before seeing any improvements. Specifically, “early May” for the Beta Canal “, at the beginning of June” for the preview of the current channel and even “July” for the current channel.
Other problems now solved that Microsoft has been attending to include CPU peaks when writing and dragging and releases broken by Windows updates of February 2025. In general, a quite rocky trip.
