As the Microsoft Store app pulls its data from the microsoft.com website, it also prevents the Microsoft Store app from loading.
Various Microsoft status pages are also affected, making it impossible to see if Microsoft is working on the problems.
Update 11:45 PM EST: The sites appear to be working again and Microsoft Store can be accessed.
BleepingComputer has contacted Microsoft about the outage but has not heard back.
