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.

    Here's an unexpected solution. Under Add Calendar on the left, simply add a new blank calendar to the same account. The existing calendar then starts working perfectly.

    Seems to be related to certain events we already had on the calendar. It hasn't happened for any new events we created since the time I posted in this thread. At least we can still access the info in the broken events, so it's not a terrible issue since new events are able to be created at this time. Still a worry that the problem might crop up again though.

    Hello Azrael,

    I'm Ibhadighi and I'd happily help you with your question. In this forum, we are Microsoft consumers just like yourself.

    The issue with not being able to save edited events on a shared calendar in Outlook, accompanied by a "Something went wrong" error, suggests there might be a problem with the Outlook service, the calendar's permissions, or a conflict with your account settings. Here are steps to try and resolve the issue:

    1. Review Calendar Permissions: Ensure you have the necessary permissions to edit events in the shared calendar. Sometimes permissions can change or get updated incorrectly.
    2. Use Outlook Web App (OWA): If you're using the desktop app, try making the edits through the Outlook Web App (OWA) at outlook.com.](https://outlook.com%29.) Sometimes the web version doesn't have the same issue.
    3. Update Outlook: Ensure your Outlook application is updated to the latest version. Go to File > Office Account > Update Options > Update Now.
    4. Remove and Re-add the Calendar: Remove the shared calendar from your view and then re-add it. This can sometimes reset any issues with the calendar's synchronization.
    5. Disable Add-ins: Add-ins can sometimes interfere with Outlook's functionality. Try disabling them to see if that resolves the issue. Go to File > Options > Add-ins > at the bottom of the page, select COM Add-ins and click Go, then uncheck any active add-ins and restart Outlook.
    6. Sometimes, the issue might be with your Outlook profile. Creating a new profile can resolve underlying issues. Go to Control Panel > Mail > Show Profiles > Add, and follow the prompts to create a new profile.

    I hope this helps.

    Best Regards, Ibhadighi
