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.

Thank you very much for sharing the link to the other thread about this. The solution given by Microsoft WORKS!!! I now can edit my Calendar after making my Outlook email the primary email account.
Now wondering why Microsoft themselves didn't reply to THIS thread with the info you have provided via the other thread?
I am so sick and tired of "new" outlook stumbling and bumbling. Yesterday I had this problem (We couldn't save...waiting might help...") for about 6 hours, to the end of my work day. Microsoft testing and fixing products before release into the wild might help too. This is hardly the only bug.
I not only killed and restarted outlook, but rebooted the computer.
Why does it give us such a lame "diagnosis" of the problem?
This stuff coming from a near monopoly that is spending literally billions on AI, launching "AI" products that make hard-to-find errors at a prodigious rate (I look at Googles "AI summary" and find errors in most; ok, not MS, but the same sorts of algorithms), should stop. Spend some money fixing all the annoyances spattered throughout MS Products. Here's one: the real-estate hog that is the Search "feature" in Word; free editors (NP++) have searchers with better design and more useful features
But it's not going to happen; MS discovered long ago that sizzle sells better than steak.
This morning I woke up my computer. At least one of the calendar items i had tried to save multiple times WAS THERE. So the thing saved it, but maybe didn't realize it.
Were getting screwed over by these people, and its going go get worse with the diminution or elimination of government oversight looming in our future. Monopsony power will increase (note to spellchecker: monopsony is a real word).
When is Microsoft going to fix this?
I have a similar issue,
lots of calender events have disappeared from my s22. Nothing in the trash, all syncing up to date, cache cleaned, I also have events showing from "my phone", "samsung account" and google account. The events which have gone were created across either of the 3 calenders and relate to both past and future events - theyve just disappered..
Any ideas?
I've also performed all recent updates as well for the apps and the phone software
I have the same issue.
I switched to the new Outlook then back to the Classic one, but it couldn't solve the issue.
