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.

      • Click on the "Internet Calendars" tab.
      • Select the Google calendar that you want to remove and click on "Remove".
      • Click "Yes" to confirm the removal.
      • 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.

    Hello.

    I am having the exact same issue as a lot of other folks have posted here as well.

    changes done in the Gmail Calendar aren't updating in Outlook Classic.

    Has this issue been solved?

    Is there any timeframe to solve this issue?

    Update: Updates from my Google calendar are still working. Any updates are NOT immediate...maybe a few hours delayed even when I do a "Send/Receive All Folders" manually. I'll accept this behavior as it is better than nothing.

    Magically, my changes in my Google calendar has started to flow into my Outlook calendar. I deleted my Google calendar link 5 days ago and reinstalled it. No changes for the first 4 days from my Google calendar and all of sudden this morning it sync upped. No changes on my part and no idea if these updates is only a one-time thing or going forward. Anyone seeing this?

    I'm not even seeing the changes reflected in Outlook after Send/Receive. It's like it loads new things from Google into Outlook once, and then never touches them again. I'm not even worried about changing them in Outlook as I don't believe it's a two-way sync, but for heaven's sake, seeing the changes made in Google come to Outlook would be nice.

    Same problem, apparently after it's been fixed for others. I just created my Google calendar for the first time as I needed something separate from my work Outlook that I could use for personal and allow updates to be reflected on my partner's calendar. It appears that changes to the Google calendar will be reflected in Outlook after I click Send/Receive, but changes I make to the calendar in Outlook will never be reflected in the Google Calendar outside of Outlook. I send/receive, I refresh, I do it all. Nothing. It's too bad as I live in Outlook so it would be nice to be able to manage all my calendars in there.
