Why am I suddenly receiving spam calendar invitations/appointments in Outlook (Microsoft 365 Family).

for meeting I want to have - I created my own folder called 0000 meetings and put them in there vs relying on the calendar. It works well for me this way.

Is there any common thread from uschedulenotifications.com?

I don't recall having this issue until I accepted calendar invite from here and I had to press YES to this warning from MS.

Though my previous suggestions work, thanks to K Nicholas I'm happy to get a little understanding of the mechanism by which the annoyances show up.

I hadn't realized how they were getting in. Now I see that it's via an ics file. I never clicked on an attachment, yet the invites and appointments showed up and I never use Outlook. Must be a Windows thing.

To solve the problem until and if Microsoft wakes up, I recommend reassigning the .ics file type to something innocuous like notepad rather than to Outlook. Or to a batch file that simply deletes the file (del /y %1)

From the Start menu, type file t and select the suggested app. type ics in the search box and reassign.

I'm reading this thread because I apparently got Google calendar invitations on my Microsoft email and calendar and android. And I've learned it is related to gmail.

I don't see a File menu. Is it in old Outlook. I tried to switch to Old and it came back to New.
