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.

    Now that you have deleted and resubscribed...are updates to your google calendar working again? Every time I delete and resubscribe, all of the updated events import at that time, however, any additions or changes to the google calendar are not synced at all (the google calendar is static when viewed in Outlook).

    Will,

    You are correct. I discovered this morning that updates in the source calendar are not synching to the shared calendar in outlook. I changed several events 2 days ago and those changes are NOT showing up in the shared google calendar in outlook. So clearly, the function is still broken. I was psyched when the events all seemed to be showing, but now that events do not update this is actually worse. Wrong data is worse than NO data.

    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?

    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?
