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

I have the exact same problem.

Both accounts are outlook.com and neither of us are using the Office/Outlook desktop client.

All interactions occur strictly via web or native/MS Windows 10 Mail & Calendar apps.

All local PC account/OS settings and all online account/calendar settings related to time zone/region are the same and correct.

Changing the time zone to something else has no effect, the email notification still comes in with UTC Monrovia Reykjavik.

Despite all of this the events are actually created and displayed correctly in the calendar using our EST time zone, only the email notifications show the wrong UTC times.

Sorry this doesn't help but I have the exact same issue. I've checked the time zone settings in Outlook.com for both of our accounts. Even if we put events in from Outlook.com, the email notifications will return back as (UTC+00:00) Monrovia, Reykjavik.

When we both check the shared calendar, any new events are in the correct time zone. It's just the email notification that's incorrectly displaying UTC+00:00 Monrovia, Reykjavik.

Microsoft, this is not an isolated issue. I, too, have been experiencing the exact same problem. This should perhaps be escalated to the next tier support.

Thanks

This was my engagement with the email support i've seen recommended in a multitude of other threads:

Calendar sharing notifications continue to show up in UTC +00:00 Monrovia, Reykjavik timezone for my and my wife's outlook.com accounts. We have checked the timezone settings in the outlook.com AND our Microsoft account. There are also hundreds of posts in the Microsoft forum regarding this exact problem. What is the solution?

The Response:

Hi,

Thank you for reaching Outlook Web Support, this is Joseph and I will be handling your concern.

As I have read, the sharing of your calendar events time does not sync on your current time zone. You do not need to worry, I will do my best to assist you!

I can see here that you have already checked the settings on your email regarding this issue and it seems like all are fine on the date and time zone. 

What we are going to do here is to check if it is an issue with your browser. have you tried to access your account using another browser like Google Chrome, Firefox or Internet Explorer to test?

Please let me know if this works. Thank you for reaching Outlook Web Support, have a great day!

Regards,

Joseph Z

SMH: Why does Microsoft "Support" have to be such an oxymoron to the word's true meaning?! It's not rocket science, it's employing educated people who ACTUALLY look into a problem and research a solution. COUNTLESS people have identified the problem as being on Microsoft's side including myself, a Microsoft Certified Sr. Network Engineer...whose primary job is MS Exchange for a 6k+ associate organization... period. This has been dragging on ALL YEAR. Do something Microsoft.
