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?

    For all those who are wondering... After weeks and weeks of engaging outlook.com support and FINALLY getting escalated to a higher level engineering team, I got a response that is acceptable as it gets... its a known issue.

    Hi Rob,

    We engaged the appropriate teams for further investigation and alas the development team concluded that this is a known issue regarding our email notification feature. As such, we will be moving forward with archiving your case.

    The development team is tracking this on the back end, and has all the information from you that they need to resolve this issue. We do not have a timeline on when to expect this to be resolved, but rest assured that the team is diligently working on this to get it sorted ASAP. 

    If you have any further questions regarding this issue, please feel free to reply to this email. For any other issues you may have, you can contact us again from the Outlook.com web app. Simply, click on the ? in the top menu bar and click Help to start a new ticket.

    Appreciate your kind co-operation !

    Sincerely,

    Thank you very much for posting this, I just wish Microsoft support would've acknowledged this sooner. So much time and energy wasted explaining, troubleshooting and trying their "solutions."
