Microsoft's Bing search engine crashes, users can't access it

According to Down Detector, since 1:30 pm on May 23, hundreds of users around the world , including Vietnam, have reported being unable to access Bing - Microsoft's default search engine. In addition, users also cannot access the AI ​​Copilot chatbot application.

This phenomenon occurs not only on desktop web browsers but also on mobile devices. Bing also issued an error message originating from this tool, and said that Bing will soon return to normal operation.

Bing crashes when users log in to the search engine.

Many users said that their Bing accounts automatically logged out and could not log back in. Not only Bing, Microsoft accounts also encountered the same situation.

As for Microsoft's AI chatbot, Copilot seems to be buggy and only displays a "loading" message, then displays the error message “We're sorry, but you can't connect to the service at this time.”

The service outage also appears to be affecting the Bing Image Creator tool provided by DALL-E, which is displaying the same error message as Bing.

Down Detector's online error reporting page recorded a reflection of Bing's problem on the afternoon of May 23.

Currently, Microsoft representatives have not commented on the Bing and Copilot incidents.

As of early March 2023, Microsoft's Bing search engine reached 100 million daily active users after the search engine gained attention for integrating ChatGPT.

Bing’s growth is largely due to the next-generation version of its AI chatbot, Copilot, which has spurred curious users to experiment with search, with one-third of Bing’s daily visitors being new users, according to tech insiders.

The combination of “Search, Answers, Conversation, and Creation” in one search experience is what gives the new Bing its real appeal.
