Outlook calendar 'changes' appointment into a meeting after editing.

This problem has nothing to do with IoS or Android. To make sure, I turned off my phone so no apps would be involved. On my PC I logged into my Outlook account on Edge, and then opened Outlook 2016 in Windows 10 and created a new Appointment for about an hour from now. It shows correctly on Outlook 2016, but as soon as the appointment popped up online in Outlook Calendar, after less than a second it was converted into a Meeting where, as has been mentioned in previous posts, as Organizer I invited myself.

This a BIG BUG!!

I only hope Microsoft will eventually be able to recreate my calendar correctly, because there are a whole bunch of past appointments that are now meetings and cannot be edited.

Thanks RickShaw81 ... I'm testing every which way to create & edit. It is a massive bug and so annoying. Watch this space for a solution and please pass on any help to us here.

I shutdown my computer to test how Outlook.com would respond when I edited an Appointment using my Apple's Calendar App on my iPhone.  Outlook.com converted the Appointment to a Meeting when I saved the edit.  This point towards problem being Outlook.com, not Outlook Desktop App on computer. Below is link to instructions for re-installing Outlook if you want to give it a try. Remember to post results to this thread if you re-install Outlook Desktop App.

Thanks MG for the links and this test result. I get similar and might extract my Outlook.com account from Outlook 2016 PC app first and try that. If that doesn't work, I'll delete and re-install the Outlook 2016 PC app.

Interestingly there doesn't seem to be a problem with creating and editing in the Windows 10 Calendar app. More evidence that it's an Office Outlook 2016 problem.
