If you’re trying to sign into Outlook.com you currently might run into this error “Outlook.com upgrades aren’t available”
Possible Maintenance
It’s possible that Microsoft is currently doing a maintenance or forgot to fix it.
Try POP3 / SMTP To Send and Receive e-Mail Instead Of Signing In Directly
Try logging in and fetching your mail via POP3 supported email client – for that you need to know the POP3 and SMTP server addresses
- Your username will look like this: add@outlook . com
- POP: pop3.live.com
- Port: 995
- Use SSL/TLS
- SMTP Server: smtp.live.com
- Port: 587
- Use STARTTLS
Apparently, they are redirecting all requests to Outlook.com to this page, which is a little annoying considering that I’ve already signed up for Outlook.com and don’t need an upgrade
This will be fixed in a couple days hopefully.
Other Sign-In Problems
Here are some general troubleshooting problems if you manage to access Outlook.com
- Check your firewall
- Clear your DNS cache
- Remove cookies, possibly you have a bad cookie
- Restart your PC
- Check if Microsoft is having trouble with their servers
- Try logging into your account from another PC
- If you are unable to log into the account from another location or machine, it’s likely a problem on Microsoft’s side
