When I open any appointment in outlook Calendar I have to save it before closing if I have locked my PC in between. Even If I did not change anything (applies to any invite also empty freshly created ones and also applies when outlook is started in safe mode + also applies on different PC / different account)

[![](https://learn-attachment.microsoft.com/api/attachments/20b86f9d-1cc2-4011-8f4d-a64e9f945f58?platform=QnASteps to reproduce:

  1. Open Outlook calendar, and open any appointment
  2. Put laptop to lock mode (windows key + L)
  3. Log in again
  4. Click the 'X' icon to close the appointment
  5. Outlook will pop up an alert box "Want to save your changes? Yes | No | Cancel " and the user has to select something.](https://learn-attachment.microsoft.com/api/attachments/20b86f9d-1cc2-4011-8f4d-a64e9f945f58?platform=QnA&fud_access=wJJIheezUklbAN2ppeDns8cDNpYs3nCYjgitr%2bfFBh2dqlqMuW7np3F6Utp%2fKMltnRRYFtVjOMO5tpbpW9UyRAwvLeec5emAPixgq9ta07Dgnp2aq5eJbnfd%2fU3qhn54gvgJwJvybOaDZLdxxWbmUU55lRVcs%2b2rsZqD5C%2f2ugIy6sqE3bmcGNiEPEvYKI16fklw5WYaFGrnASySzjzYPBMvt%2bVOvAQMf93S5Ko5apovha8xkf2t4FEpnnplUjx6vzNpK1AJ%2bm5J3PVtyfBv2Ngxo%2bKQEU%2b1bEbIrW6CGfvnpbcta1O6MDU7%2b9Ea77rcFd7uju0GTB3L41UvMQuArmQC6FPPSvSN6qLyVexBhQGTMqZUIG5uwLawp5kn016qCxHiiHVoGPOhOPlZjc2pXoVl6o5NdZl4BiPgXi2mF4g%3d "filestore.community.support.microsoft.com")

Disabling the weather information, scaling equal, new profile did not help for me, any idea how to solve this?

    Winter -

    Thanks for you input - but the end-user shouldn't expect to have to all of these adjustments, modifications. Outlook updates are frequent enough where Microsoft could include a correction to one of those to rectify this. Please submit an Outlook update request for this.

    Thanks

    Scott

    This is how the issue looks for me:

    • When I open an appointment and close it, I don't get the prompt to save the changes.
    • When I open an appointment that has a link to "Join the meeting now" and then subsequently try to close the appointment, Outlook is asking me to save the change.

    The actual change that it is causing the prompt is the change in the color of the link to join the meeting. It changes from this:

    ... to this:

    This is pretty annoying as this should not be considered a "change" in the appointment.

    Fnurk,

    I was able to avoid this entire hassle by right clicking on the meeting in my calendar and selecting "join meeting". This might be different for you depending on what you are using for your meetings. Nevertheless, it allows you to join the meeting without opening the meeting.

    Then, for other cases like when I just want to open a meeting to look at it. I simply close the meeting after I am done looking at it and then the problem does not come up later when I'm closing up windows for the day.

    Hope this helped,

    Randal
