SOLVED: Where to Find Updates To Microsoft Support Cases & How to Open New Tech Support Tickets

If you have ever opened a Microsoft technical support case you will know that they seldom get back to you quickly. One case that we just opened is now at 28 hours, on a 4 hour SLA and even after pestering them twice, we haven’t heard a peep out of Microsoft. After a while you get sick of phoning in and want to just look online to see what the status of your Microsoft support ticket is. However, nearly every website, Including those run by Microsoft, provide inaccurate instruction by saying that the only way to check the status of your case is to try to open a new one or phone in.

Before you read any further, note that if your question relates to Microsoft Office 365, we have a full explanation, including screen shots, of how easily open and view your technical support tickets right on the Microsoft 365 admin pages.

How To Check the Status of a Microsoft Support Case

Corporate users can simply surf to Microsoft’s “Support Hub” website, sign in and:

  1. view the status of their open support request tickets
  2. view their old support request tickets
  3. open new support tickets

Microsoft Support Hub can be found here: https://support.serviceshub.microsoft.com

Home users can check the status of their Microsoft Service Request here: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/home/contact

Note that you have to sign in and click the REQUEST HISTORY menu link at the top of the page as shown in the screenshot.

Microsoft Technical Support Phone Numbers

Alternately you can call Microsoft and ask them for the status of your ticket. You can even complain about how they have not come close to meeting their service level agreement time frame.
