There could be more than one and just one being tripped will typically trip all of them.

Check the flux capacitor. Or get a new house.

Your outlets aren't on the same circuit as your lights then.

Simple stuff first. Did you check your breakers? GFCI?

Circuit breaker.

It's a GFCI breaker that needs to he reset before it is turned back on.

Sometimes the GFCI is in a completely different part of the house.

+1 I once had a GFCI out on the deck trip, and all the outlets in

Yup. And garages are notorious too.
