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.

    That's an interesting suggestion. But my Gmail calendar doesn't show up as an Internet Calendar, but is a Shared Calendar using the shareable calendar link. As a Shared Calendar it seems with the Cached Exchange turned off, that it doesn't update the calendar at all, even with new events, let alone update changes to existing events.

    Yes, have the same issue. I don't show a cache option at all. I'm running Windows 11, Office 365. When I add the calendar, which I've removed and reloaded several times, it just shows a static snapshot of the current google calendar (using the secret iCal method), but then does not update additions or deletions (definitely not within hours of the change, so suspect never).

    It's almost like Windows does not want to play nice with Mac/Google and the iCal option.

    I have also added the google email inbox to see if that was the source of the static view, but it did not fix the issue.

    Thats good to know. I’d resisted the new UI because it seemed user unfriendly but maybe ill have to give it another go.

    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?

    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.
