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 have the same issue and the instructions are not helpful as that is exactly what I and others have already done.

    I believe the bug is when the google appointment is modified and the outlook desktop client fails to process the update.

    Outlook Web version does not have this issue. Just desktop,

    Same for me. I have gone through all the steps. I even tried to add events on my phone and through Chrome on my desktop to see if that impacted which events show and which do not. No luck.

    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 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.
