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.

    I had been using the old Outlook. I have since switched to the New Outlook and instead of using a shared calendar, I did add my Google calendar as an Internet calendar, using the same shareable/secret link. I no longer select the shared calendar, but the Google calendar shows up as an option and when selected to show, it is incorporated into my regular calendar. No need to see a second tab, or use the arrow to bring them together.

    Also, it "seems" (I say this hesitatingly) that it may now be updating when I both add a new event and delete and old one, although removing the deleted item took at least a few hours, maybe overnight.

    I don't, in general, like the new Outlook, as there are things that have been taken out that I used all the time, but at least this feature seems better.

    Just FYI, this solution didn't work for me, as Outlook didn't maintain my disabling of Using Cached Exchange Mode..."

    But in the New Outlook, it seems setting it up as an Internet Calendar, and not a Shared Calendar, may have worked. Though I do not like the new Outlook generally and wish I didn't have to use it.
