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.

    So, I noticed something today that may be important regarding the problem that all of us are having with our shared google calendars failing to update in outlook.

    I always use Outlook on the Web as I really do not like the Outlook App and so I decided to open the App to see if there was any additional information about why the synching was failing. When you click "Send/Receive" it always says completed successfully.

    But I did notice something odd today. If I go to my calendars in the Outlook Client and select "Schedule View" I noticed one of my shared calendars is stuck on "Updating" and it never goes away. Could this be why we never see updates? Can anyone else go to your "Schedule View" to see if any of your imported shared calendars are stuck updating like this?

    I replied to this post and there have been multiple other responses since my original post, all echoing a similar problem. When do we get support from Microsoft?

    Adding to the list of voices with the same problem.

    Calendar apps have had synchronize capabilities for decades now, Microsoft. It's not unreasonable to expect your software to work BEFORE you push changes out to us that break basic core functionality.

    What's next? Will outlook randomly not send emails to Gmail addresses?
