Outlook Calendar Notifications all Show in (UTC+00:00) Monrovia, Reykjavik Time Zone

My wife shared her outlook.com calendar with me.  We both have our time zones set to Eastern Time on outlook.com.  However, whenever I get a notification that she added something to her calendar it shows in (UTC+00:00) Monrovia, Reykjavik Time Zone just in the notification.

For instance it says...

When: Wednesday, March 29, 2017 12:30 AM-1:00 AM. (UTC+00:00) Monrovia, Reykjavik

... when she makes an appointment at 8:30pm Eastern Time on 3/28.  Both the time shows correctly on both of our calendars.  Only the notification is wrong.  How do I fix that?

    FWIW after checking and/or changing every conceivable setting in every account on every device I gave up and kept using the shared calendar as is. Then out of the blue notifications started coming in with the correct (in my case EST) time zone. This lasted for a day or two then reverted back to UTC. Then the occasional notification would come in with EST while the majority were UTC. Now it's back to all UTC.

    Hi Randy,

    Based on the description that you provided, there are settings that we need to configure to resolve this issue. However, we need to do some troubleshooting steps to isolate the cause of this problem. Before we proceed, may we know the following:

    • Any changes made on the account prior to this concern?
    • What troubleshooting steps have you tried so far?
    • Is this the first time that you encountered this problem?
    • Are you referring to Office Outlook installed on the computer or the Outlook.com website

    I have this exact same problem. My wife shares her calendar with me  (she has @outlook.com and I have @live.com accounts), and the notifications I receive display incorrect time zone. They display the correct time in our desktop versions of Outlook and on our phones.

    I have checked the time zone settings in both of our Microsoft accounts (Outlook.com online), and they are correct (PST).

    See screen shot below. Any suggestions to fix this?

    Thank you,

    Randy

    Hi Andy,

    Thanks for providing us details, but we'll need to get more information. If possible, kindly refer to the questions in my first reply (excluding the 2nd one) for us to isolate. Also, could you confirm if you're sending business emails or personal emails?

    Any additional information would be highly appreciated.

    Hi Jason,

    We'll need to gather a bit more information to better identify what's causing this. Kindly answer the following:

    • Do you have the same geographical location as your wife's current location?
    • Does this also happen on your wife's end?
    • Could you send us a screenshot of your and your wife's regional settings?

    Any additional information on your part would be highly appreciated. Feel free to share them in your next reply.
