Outlook, do not update

[arzgi]

At work I have to use win My boss tried to share his calendar, but did not work. Boss'es boss came, called to ICT support, they said it was now fixed, but still could not see the calendar. There was a recent update to outlook, which I did.

Had some free time today, so decided to check how things would be in the previous version (ms still supports the old version, and lets you to change back) and voila, I could see the calendar.

It is not always advisable to update, if you have to use MS.

EDIT: Seems they know, why else would they support changing to previous version

Hi @arzgi
Sometimes MS Office update breakes MS Office suite.
This suite is very popular in business, mainly for Microsoft 365.
In any case I would provide you this suggestion/tip:

Microsoft provides us different "channel" to receive MS Office Update:
1) Current Channel
2) Monthly Enterprise Channel
3) Semi-Annual Enterprise Channel

If you ask me, I faced troubles in business environment via "Current Channel".
Current Channel provide you several updates, but they are less stable.

In some company, as IT consultant, I improved MS Office stability with Monthly Enterprise Channel.

I hope my hinge can help you =)

I improved MS Office stability with Monthly Enterprise Channel

That would be the preferred choice, but workstations with Office on a LAN can still be problematic due to endpoints etc. MS is always unreliable once networking is in the picture on subnets.

Thanks for the tips. I also worked as a IT consult in a house wich used only windows Some cases already then went high over my head. Had used Debian on my own computers for years. Usually I keep my laptop with Debian 12 with me also in this workplace, if you need to get the work done, use Debian .

Did not help in the calendar sharing problem, but in many others.

If all else fails, use OWA. Bypass using the actual application.
