Outlook calendar will not allow a date or time change to a scheduled event via the date/time pull downs

In my outlook calendar I can no longer change the date or time of any event using the pull down arrows to change the start date or time. When I input a new day or time, it reverts back to the original. I am able to change the date/time of event by dragging the event, but this is cumbersome. It is a new computer and Office 365. This is a new issue and started approximately 2 weeks ago.

    Although it is ridicules that it is necessary, I found another work around.

    Double click the day on your calendar to add an appointment as usual. Add the Subject and Location as appropriate. Then click Scheduling Assistant. The start time and end time dropdowns work there. Change them as needed then click back to Appointment. You can change the reminder at this point.

    I have exactly the same issue as you.

    My computer is NOT new and my 365 is approximately 3 years old and I have been using the Classic Outlook.

    As mentioned by others

    • i cannot schedule an appt for any time other than 8am in the morning thru clicking on the calendar/using new appt
    • I cannot modify the time through the pull down arrows.
    • The problem began in the early part of November. Prior to that the many appts I was scheduling had no issues.

    There are workarounds but they are a nuisance

    • you either must leave your microsoft device and enter your appts via Apple Iphone or Ipad [not sure about everyone else but I chose a windows based computer for a reason - don't particularly want an apple]
    • you have to do the activity twice [ie enter the appt and details then save, then go out to the day view on outlook and drag it into position.} If you are scheduling many appts [which i am for medical reasons] the appts need to be accurate and having the extra work is undesirable.

    I would like to know what is being done to resolve the issue

    I've done what Thomas-MM suggested, November 18. That works.

    Try turning off the iCloud add in and see if it works right.
