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?

    Same issue for me. Have tried with OWA and with the Outlook client. I am able to 'import' items but no changes in my google calendar will sync with outlook. I have just recently tried to sync with outlook to consolidate a few calendars including a work account that I can view on a mobile account. We are not able to add a google calendar to our corporate outlook, so I thought this would be a perfect alternative. Clearly something with MS has changed given the number of users who are all of a sudden experiencing this.

    I'm experiencing this as well - existing Google Calendar events show up in Outlook when I add the calendar, but new ones don't come up.

    I'm guessing the radio silence from MS on this thread since late Feb means that this is a pretty serious bug....
