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.

Hi Ibhadighi,
It has been a long while now, and many people in the comments say they are having the same issue, and it is increasing unreliable. Do you know if/when Microsoft plans to fix this?
Hello Ibhadighi,
Thank you for your suggestions.
I am using the new Outlook Mail desktop app, and calendar events are suddenly not able to be saved and edited. The outlook web app also presented issues. The same error message of "couldn't save event" shows. For one of my emails, I am able to edit its calendar successfully. For my other emails, I am not able to. This issue has been going on for about a week now. There is not a file option in the new outlook web app.
Any help is appreciated, thank you.
SAME situation here!! Was working just fine, but all the sudden starting around 11/6/24, I cannot save a new event or edit an existing one. Very frustrating...spent hours trying to find a solution, but now I see lots of people having same issue, so this must be a bug because nothing's changed and was working before. What happened? C'mon Microsoft! PLEASE FIX THIS!! Thank you!!
I have the same issue. It is very frustrating. Events that I am invited to cannot be accepted and some meetings show up blank and I have to open and close the "new" outlook several times.
I have a same problem... I can't edit any event using my Office 365 accounts.
