Outlook Calendar not showing changes to linked Google Calendar

I have 2 shared Google calendar that I have added to my Outlook calendar using the Google "secret address in ical format". When new things get added, I can see them in Outlook, but if an event is changed (description for instance or time), the changes don't sync to the Outlook calendar. The same thing happens with deleted events; they aren't removed from my Outlook calendar. Some of the changes were made more than a month ago and still have not synced, but new entries have synced. I have tried deleting and re-connecting the calendar. I've attached an example of the changes not shown for one of the calendars.

I just got a new computer with Windows 11. I was having this same problem on the previous computer using Windows 10.

    Having the same issue. I've deleted the calendar on microsoft365 (outlook online), pressed "reset" under google calendar settings, and re-subscribed. Changes to google calendar are not syncing with Outlook. This is breaking apart families, children are being left behind at their activities (or missing them altogether), we don't know who's on first, what's on second. All sarcasm aside, please get this corrected!

    I have the same issue!!

    Removing and re-adding the the G-Calendar brings in my events, but nothing is updated! As previously stated, the calendar is NOT listed in File > Account Settings > Internet Calendars, with all buttons disabled.

    Come on Microsoft, surely this MUST be a solvable problem? Or is it too low on the bugs lists?

    I have this same issue. For the past few years, I have used the secret address in ical format to be able to view my personal Google calendar in my outlook Desktop application and overlay it with my work calendar. It stopped syncing in the past few weeks, and when I deleted and re-added it is still missing many appointments (some display, some do not) and In Outlook in File>Account Settings on the "Internet Calendars" tab, it is not listed there. I am also unable to add anything from there: the "new" button is greyed out. There is text at the bottom of the screen directing me to use "Open Calendar" in the ribbon. Something has stopped working with internet calendars recently. In addition, the calendar is visible in the Outlook web and also missing many of the appointments. I don't see a pattern - some are recurring, some are not.

    I have same issue as well. This looks like its clearly a broken feature that many users are reporting.

    The synching was working but no longer does. I removed and re-added my calendar using the secret address and none of the the events are showing now. When will Microsoft address this issue?

    I had my google calendar synced to outlook. Then it stopped updating:

    • I removed the google calendar from Outlook
    • Close the Account Settings window.
    • Restart your outlook desktop client.
    • Go back to the main Outlook window and click on "Open Calendar" in the ribbon.
    • Select "From Internet" from the drop-down menu.
    • Paste the Google "secret address in ical format" into the box and click "OK".
    • Give the calendar a name and click "OK" again.

    But now when I can see it on my calendar (but still not updated)

    • In Outlook, go to the "File" tab and click on "Account Settings".
    • Select "Account Settings" again from the drop-down menu.
    • Click on the "Internet Calendars" tab.
    • It is not listed there.
