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)

  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

    I have experienced the same issue for years on my desktop Outlook. When I try to shut down Outlook, it makes me "save without changes" each meeting that I did not edit. Quite annoying! I was hoping to find a solution here, like an options setting to change. Disappointing.

    There are enough people having this problem that it seems to be a Microsoft issue and not the setup of an individual user.

    I feel for the person going through all that troubleshooting. If the test to fix it is telling someone to not do normal things, it's simply a bug! For example, telling someone to make sure their screens are at 100% scale is nuts (accessibility anyone?).

    Let's hope that Microsoft will hear our pleas for a solution to this.

    Having to click want to save your changes to any meeting invite where you click on the url in the body of the invite is absolutely INSANE.

    When i have several invites up and then try to close outlook, being asked 5-6 times to save changes to an invite you REALLY did not make changes to is extremely frustrating and unproductive.

    It is so frustrating seeing people keeps talking about this and Microsoft has not been able to fix it. How hard can this be?

    It’s amusing to receive emails in my inbox informing me of new comments on this thread…

    Good luck to everyone out there… patience. And yes: save the changes (that you did not make) to that calendar entry that you forgot to close before hibernating the computer!

    From one frustrated outlook user to this nice community.
