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 Vanessa,

    did you even read what people already posted? Its mentioned in several posts they the timezones have been set up correctly in outlook.com, on their account settings and in their mail clients and computers.

    additionally, the calendar events are created at the correct time. It's only the notifications that are sent to contacts that the calendar is shared with, have the wrong timezone.

    how many times do people have to say this before you accept it's a bug on MS side (outlook.com)

    I am having the same problems (Reykjavik Time Zone in notifications). The problem came from nowhere and all the timezone settings available to us end users are ,of course, configured correctly.

    (My assumptions is that MS are upgrading their software/infrastructure in some kind of blocks and we are  unlucky to be in different clusters than the people with whom we are sharing our calendars.)

    One think is for sure. The replies we are getting from Microsoft support on this forum wound NEVER PASS the Turing test  (The Turing test, developed by Alan Turing in 1950, is a test of a machine's ability to exhibit intelligent behaviour equivalent to, or indistinguishable from, that of a human).

    Hi Darian,

    Thank you for your reassurance. I have spent a lot time trying to fix the issue on my end (before concluding that the problem must be on MS side) so please free to request any information you think necessary.

    (The sharing calendars had been pretty stable for a number of years until we got that dreaded message on the 4th of October 2016 "Limited shared calendar access during Outlook.com upgrade". Since then every month brings a new issue. The problems with sharing in write mode, retirement of the decent Android outlook.com app,  removal of timezone selection from events in webmail interface, now the confusing notifications...to just list a few examples.)

    Have a nice day.

    Best regards.

    Adam

    I'm experiencing the same issue even after verifying (and resetting) time zone settings on both the source and destination Outlook.com address.

    It's quite irritating.
