Enterprise users relying on Google Gemini for AI-assisted workflows encountered service disruptions on June 10, 2026, as a wave of outage reports hit Downdetector. According to TechRadar, the problems began around 6:11am ET / 11:11am GMT, with 480 reports in the US and 440 in the UK. Despite user complaints, Google's Gemini status page currently states that 'all systems are currently operational.
Error Messages and Workaround
Users on the TechRadar team experienced a range of error messages, including 'error 1099' and 'error 1076'. According to Gemini itself, error 1076 is a 'handshake or initial connection timeout error'. A temporary workaround was discovered: immediately retyping the same query into the Gemini chat box often gets it to work. TechRadar notes this is not a long-term solution but a short-term fix while Google addresses the issues.
Impact and Official Response
Currently, Google has not acknowledged the outage on its status page, which continues to show all systems operational. It remains to be seen whether the company will update the status page if reports continue to rise. For enterprise technology decision-makers, this incident underscores the importance of monitoring AI service reliability and having contingency plans for critical AI-dependent workflows. As of now, no further details on the root cause or expected resolution time have been provided by Google.
