Frequently asked questions
Is Microsoft Live down right now?
Our latest stored check 22 minutes ago found Microsoft Live reachable. The live check on this page runs a fresh test from our servers when you open it.
Why can I not open Microsoft Live if the check says it is up?
The problem is probably on your side: your network, DNS cache, VPN, browser, an extension or a regional block. Try mobile data or another network and clear your DNS cache.
What does it mean if Microsoft Live is down for everyone?
Our servers could not get a normal response either, so Microsoft Live or its hosting is having a problem. Check the official status page or social account and try again in a few minutes.
How does SiteDownCheck decide Microsoft Live is down?
We request the home page from our servers. A connection failure, timeout or 5xx error is confirmed with a second check a few seconds later before it counts as down. A 4xx response such as 403 counts as reachable, because many sites refuse automated requests.
What is the uptime of Microsoft Live?
Over the last 825 checks in the past 30 days, Microsoft Live answered 100% of the time from our single monitoring location. This is our own measurement, not an official figure from Microsoft Live.
