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?

NOTE: There is still no solution / fix for this issue

    Just kill outlook.exe until they give a solution.

    We should have a party to celebrate 2 years!

    I bet we have spent more time struggling with this and reporting it than it would take for Microsoft to just fix the problem.

    I sometimes wonder if Microsoft even care about these "legacy" products that a lot of professionals use. It looks like they are putting all their efforts into Azure and Electron Apps. So far, the Electron apps looks like a bad idea, they are just sluggish.

    even if you dont click on anything at all.

    Open a calendar event and let it sit for a day or so

    Thats a key to all of the issues i have seen in every scenario. No matter if you click on links, teams, webex, whatever... If you close right away, no issues. If you let them sit for a while, then you run into this issue if you clicked on a link or not.

    MICROSOFT - when are you going to fix this?

    Yep, opening a link in a scheduled meeting triggers an edit feature when it shouldn't. Annoying, persistent waist of time. Me: MS can help me work smarter not harder? Yay! MS: Ummmm.... about that calendar edit thingie....
