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?

    Figured I too would reply to this thread as it seems to be the most active ATM. I have noticed this issue for a while with my and my wife's accounts. We also share calendars and when I get emails of new/updated items to her calendar they come to me with the time zone set for Monrovia, Reykjavik instead of Central Time which both of our accounts are set to. Not sure if this well help or not but is happens whether we use the web application (outlook.com) or the Outlook app on Android. If there's anything I can do to help debug this issue, please let me know.

    My husband and I share calendars both with oultook.com address and have been getting our email confirmation with Monrovia, Reykjavik time as well and we have check all of our time zone settings for PST. I just started to research this today and didn't realize how big of a problem it is. I sure hope Microsoft can get it fixed.

    We are having this issue as well. Regional settings are correct in the outlook.com web app for both the calendar creator's account and the account that reads the shared calendar.

    One thing I also noticed that in the Outlook desktop application, the shared calendar appears with the events themselves set to (UTC+00:00) Monrovia, Reykjavik time zone.

    Getting exactly the same. Items created on my wife's calendar using Windows mobile 10 and viewed by me on desktop in Outlook 2016. I have checked every timezone setting everywhere and they are all correct. On September 16th 2016 the timezones displayed correctly. The next shared event was sent on March 21st 2017 where it had a different layout and the timezone was wrong.

    Come on Microsoft, this cannot be that difficult to fix.

    FYI - We have the same issue here at the office, where we have Office 365 via our LAN.  All time zones are properly set (Central) in both the Outlook software AND on the Web App.

    This is not just a web app/personal user issue. It occurs within the actual installed software on a PC.

    I noticed it on read receipts. Since we use the actual calendar within Outlook (vs. the web app), I haven't had occasion to notice it when making a calendar event setting.

    However, this is clearly a bug in the Microsoft Software itself, and not user error.
