Justice Dept says operations affected by Microsoft’s Windows 11 system outage

The Department of Justice and Constitutional Development said its operations have been affected by Microsoft’s Windows 11 system outage.

A security upgrade by the international company has rendered Windows 11 computers inoperable.

The department said it has been hit by the widespread system error and was working closely with the company’s engineers to restore affected devices.

Department spokesperson Samuel Modipane said restorations would continue in the coming weeks.

"The department regrets the inconvenience caused to members of the public and stakeholders and assures all concerned that every effort is being made to fully restore services as soon as possible."
