When I attempt to login to Outlook, the following is displayed: 

"Something went wrong and we can't sign you in right now. Please try again later."

I have been unable to login for several days now. I have tried to login on many different computers and browsers. Please advise.

    I have the same problem over several weeks now - have tried multiple computers and multiple browsers (Chrome, IE, Firefox, Safari etc) but always get the annoying "Something went wrong..." message.

    If I can retrieve my messages, I swear I will stop using outlook.com immediately

    Unfortunately, I don't know where / how I can send a private message, quoting my UID, so that someone can take a look at it.

    None of the above worked for me. not even https (I am using ie 11.0)

    recently I have had this problem with certificate on MSN.com so I reset my security (which was a mistake) and among bad things that happened was this :

    I see the web address flashing in the address bar rapidly and changing from blu...to login.live and then this:

    Sign in

    Something went wrong and we can't sign you in right now. Please try again later.

    No matter what I do I cant get my email any more so I am using Opera right now. It works fine.

    but I had all my passwords and 60 jillion different accounts on that IE. Besides I always used the good features on ie. even way back when most of my colleagues preferred Netscape! (its been a while).

    I like many had the same stupid issue

    "Something went wrong and we can't sign you in right now.

    Please try again later.

    Microsoft"

    All the answers given in these responses area ****!

    I managed to log into hotmail via Firefox and surprise surprise no problems!

    It's gotta be Microsoft themselves!

    Its ALWAYS Microsoft!

    They meddle and always stuff things up!

    Dont have to remind you about Windows Vista and Windows 8 and 8.1 and 10

    and issues with Windows 7 that they wont fix!

    Suggestion: as painful as it can be, go to another web email provider.

    or dont use Microsoft products.
