14 DAY TRIAL // Microsoft has managed to resolve another important Outlook glitch, this time impacting the Calendar. The company explains in a tech support document that in some cases, clicking a meeting in the Calendar could actually reveal an incorrect timeslot.
The problem affects Outlook for Microsoft 365, and Microsoft explains that there are several causes that could trigger this error, including low-screen DPI.
Furthermore, if you’re not running Outlook maximized, the application might display the incorrect timeslot for a meeting.
“After user selects multiple calendars in the Calendar pane, they may notice the incorrect timeslot/meeting is selected when they click on a meeting while viewing multiple Calendars. Calendars where the user has Full Access (which are not automapped) may display incorrectly,” the software giant explains.
The following settings could trigger the glitch for Outlook users:
- Low screen DPI, or Outlook is not maximized and the window is relatively small in size.
- A calendar was added or selected in Calendar pane.
- Both non-working hours and working hours are shown in the same view.
Fortunately, the software giant has already managed to address the glitch, so all users need to do is to update the software to the most recent update. Microsoft says the December 13 updates are the ones that bring things back to normal in the Calendar app.
“This issue is fixed in Current Channel Version 2211, Build 16.0.15831.20208. It was released to Production on December 13th, 2022,” Microsoft explains.
Given the release took place on December 13, the same day when Microsoft shipped the Patch Tuesday security fixes, most devices should be up-to-date, so there’s a chance the fix is already on your computer. However, if it isn’t, you should just update Microsoft 365 to the latest version, not only to get these improvements, but also to install the most recent security fixes as well.
