Calendar subscription does not refresh

I'm in this boat. It's pretty ridiculous that a subscribed calendar doesn't pull more often than every day or so. Makes it pretty much useless.

Hi Craig Ruane,

Thanks for the information. As I understand, events you have added on your MS Office Outlook is not syncing to your Outlook.com Calendar.

As initial troubleshooting, please try removing and re-adding your Outlook.com in MS Office Outlook. You may refer to this article for steps on how to do this: Add Outlook.com to Outlook

Also, make sure that you have the latest version of Outlook Hotmail Connector.

Let us know how things turn out.

Thank you.

 no fix in over a year?  seriously Microsoft?  like the original problem, my tripit calendar is not updating...why doesn't a manual send\receive contact the calendar feed?

This is pathetic

Like others in this thread, I bought a new device (laptop) that uses Windows 8. I was really looking forward to using Outlook's calendar as my single calendar.

Like others, I am forced to subscribe to someone else's calendar. It isn't my choice. I either have to subscribe or manually enter events in my Outlook calendar. The calendar is Yahoo.

I just looked in my Outlook calendar and the Yahoo subscription hasn't updated since 2010!

So, yes, I'm going to delete all the subscriptions and add them again.

I also bought a Windows 8 phone, which I haven't set up yet, but now I know it might not work anyway.

Please, please, please Microsoft support, encourage your management to prioritize this. Calendar subscription is a basic requirement for a phone, tablet, or laptop!

In nine pages of this, has anyone else noticed the "Microsoft Forum Moderator" who "replies" is almost always a different person?  If there's 30 "replies", they're from 28 different "moderators".  (I didn't count really, but anyone who wants to can double-check me).

Bottom line, they never have had any interest in making their consumer products work with anyone else's.  Their solution, when not stonewalling like is evidenced in this thread, is that everyone should just use nothing but MS products, then everything will be fine, as if that was realistic.

I've used MS stuff outside of work since DOS 3.2.  It worked great until Windows came along.  3 years ago I got my first iPad, and this past Christmas I bought my first iMac.  No they're not perfect, but they worked right out of the box, their call center professionals are polite and knowledgeable, and they know how to sell stuff.  My wife wanted a Surface Pro 2, but there were none in the Microsoft stores, or Best Buy, or Staples, or, or, or.   They wouldn't even take her email address to let her know when it might be available, or a deposit on the credit card we waved at them.  They don't want to sell stuff.

At the Apple store across the street, they had us waiting in the Black Friday line until the next "Genius" was available, and that person came out to get us and walked us through the store, helped us buy what we wanted, and even told us what not to buy because we could get it cheaper at [well-known computer place on the internet].  Called [well-known place], and they knew exactly what I was doing and were happy to help within minutes, and they did it right the first time.

Ok, finishing with a good point for Microsoft, their corporate development and sales does work well.  That's where they make their money.  Consumers, run and hide.

It's been 10 months since the last post on this and there does not seem to be any sort of fix in place yet.

Subscribed calendars still do not update in any sort of timely fashion on Outlook. Is there any progress to be made on this problem at all? It really makes a difference in whether I continue to use Outlook's service or if I go back to Google's.
