User impact: Admins may be unable to access the SharePoint Online admin center.

More info: Additionally, the top navigation suite bar (app launcher, search, and settings) doesn’t load across SharePoint Online sites for any users.

When attempting to access the SharePoint Online admin center, admins may see the following error message:

“Sorry, something went wrong.”

Technical details of the error may reference an application initialization error.

Current status: We’ve isolated that impact isn’t limited to users or admins in Australia and updated the “Title”, “User impact”, and “Scope of impact” sections of our communications to reflect this change. We’re analyzing recent updates to the SharePoint Online admin center. We’re also implementing a configuration change to have SharePoint Online admin center access requests route to any available endpoint as a potential remediation action to restore users to a healthy operating state while we continue to work to isolate the underlying root cause.

Scope of impact: Some admins or users attempting to access the SharePoint Online admin center or sites may be impacted, and are returned an error message stating “Sorry, something went wrong.” This information may be updated as our investigation continues.
