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?

    Hi Sherry,

    I checked the Region and time zone setting and the Calendar Appearance setting on a different computer, different browser than I usually use, and in private browsing. I also check time zone settings on all of our computers and both phones. And, I checked the time zone settings in the desktop version of Outlook on all computers. All time zone settings are correct (UTC-08:00 Pacific Time). Added a test appointment on my wife's calendar and received the following calendar notification.

    Any other suggestions? Thank much for any help you can provide!

    I'm having the exact same problem. My wife and I share our calenders with eachother and we receive calender update events in the wrong timezone as well (always in UTC+0).

    Same issue here. ^

    Hoping that MS will do the right thing and acknowledge that this is a bug and devote resources to fixing it.

    My wife and I are having the same problem.  The only wrinkle is that only my wife receives the Icelandic message when I post a new calendar entry  If she posts a calendar entry, the notification message I get is normal.  Since the calendar itself shows the calendar entry properly this is not a big deal but just curious.  The shared calendar happens to be my personal calendar.  We have been on Outlook.com for years and this has only started recently. I would guess that it started somewhere after the recent major upgrades to Outlook.com.

    Exactly the same issue here. All notifications are reported in UTC as described in this post whilst our personal region is set to Amsterdam (UTC+1).

    No changes made to the accounts.
