Edits to Calendar Events can't be Saved

About a month ago, I started having an issue with saving edited calendar events on a shared calendar that I manage. When I go into an existing Event and edit information such as the date, time, title, or other information and hit "SEND", I get a pop-up saying, "Something went wrong", that "We couldn't save your calendar event. Waiting a bit might help. Keep your calendar event open to try again later." (image of this pop-up is attached).

I have tried to "resume editing", and of course, have waited with the event open, but it still won't save. It seems like this is an issue many others are experiencing as well. Solutions I have seen on other threads include turning off weather displays on the calendar, clearing your cache, and using the app instead of a browser. I have tried all of these things, but nothing has solved this problem. I manage many regular calendar events, and it is a huge hassle to have to delete an original event and replicate it over again from scratch when it only needs a small update, and everyone invited to the event sees the cancellations and re-invitations and becomes confused.

Are there any other solutions that might help? Any updates soon? Thank you.

    AFAIK, Microsoft does not monitor answers.microsoft.com; it's a feel-good for us who complain, and volunteers who respond. Responses, therefore, are not authoritative and not commitments from Microsoft. This thread began in March 2024, the same complaint remains 7 months later. Similar threads have been going on for years ('Mail can't do something because the object has changed', for example).

    I've spoken with Microsoft employees who cite some mechanism whereby employees can send suggestions about product improvement up the food chain, and when they do...nothing changes. So probably no one is monitoring this, at least not with the intention of fixing the things we're complaining about.

    We should raise a support ticket

    In my case, the events update works fine on a mobile but not on a laptop. Isn't this strange?

    And how does one do that?

    I have an Office 365 subscription on Windows 11 "Home" build 22631.4317 (should be current, but of course the System/System/About gives me no date). It is in my wife's name. She passed away 10 months ago, I can't read her email, and thanks to "2nd Factor Authentication" there's much I cannot do.

    I have no idea how to "raise a support ticket", how to access the 1TB of storage that comes with the subscription, or how to ask MS about any of this.

    As far as I can tell, MS does it's very best to hide behind a digital wall and ignore the folks that have purchased their products, all the while touting half-finished (but wonderful!) products like Bing, New Outlook, and the BS generator Copilot. MS have not changed since the stumbling bumbling days of Windows 2.0, releasing with great fanfare products that kinda sorta work much of the time.

    I can safely write this because no one (at MS) is paying the slightest attention.

    I grew up with Windows starting at 1.0, a slow piece of ****. It wasn't until windows 7 that it started to become stable. I also have an office365 subscription and also have not found a way to report a bug to Microsoft.
