After over a 24-hour outage, Microsoft's Bing, Copilot, and Copilot in Windows services are back online worldwide, with no information released as to what caused the problem.

ChatGPT's internet search features, which Bing powers, were also down, as confirmed by OpenAI. Microsoft shared updates throughout the day, initially stating, "We're working to find the cause of the issue. More information can be found in the admin center under CP795190."

Today, at approximately 1:30 PM EST, Microsoft announced that Bing and Copilot services were fully restored, which BleepingComputer confirmed in our own tests.

BleepingComputer contacted Microsoft with questions about the root cause of the outage but has not received a reply at this time.
