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

    I am disappointed that the Outlook support folks have stopped contributing to this thread. This problem has happened to me for years on every instance of Outlook I have worked on (I am currently on three) and I don't understand why they don't seem to see the problem when all the rest of us do!

    I just closed an email draft and did not save it because I am meanwhile trained to close everything without checking when I am closing Outlook.

    Even if the bug will be fixed, a billion of wrong conditioned Outlook users will keep on being wrong conditioned and do the same till they pass away.

    Thank you Microsoft for nothing.

    This problem occurs in all of the office applications, it creates confusion as to the state of the document. If Microsoft is going to recommend saving the file, publish the document "change" that is prompting the save request (in the save message). I have had this message come up in documents that are opened "read only". I am paid to produce documents not chase problems. If I change a document show enumerate what changed so a decision can be made. Do not make me guess why I should or should not save a document.

    Yes, it is quite frankly insane that such a simple issue is allowed to consume hundreds of thousands of hours globally for years, without being fixed.
