Windows 10: Windows 10 Calendar App / OUTLOOK.COM

Discus and support Windows 10 Calendar App / OUTLOOK.COM in Microsoft Office and 365 to solve the problem; I think what Cliff/Nigel is/are suggesting is that you set UAC to the default level to see if that has any effect on the issue. *ThumbsYep, Bill,...

    *ThumbsYep, Bill, that's what we meant, also to make sure it wasn't set all the way up.

    Hey guys so yeah, I lifted UAC all the way up, restarted, then back down. No changes to the calendar sadly lol.
    Still have about 20 junk calendars sitting in there while my Outlook browser is so clean.

  5. There can be issues if UAC is NOT set to the default level. It seems as though you went all the way up to Always notify and then back down (to what?)

    This is what was suggested

    What happens if you de-select the unwanted calendars?

    If neither of the above help, you might try uninstall / reinstall the communication Apps
    Wait on this though - I'll have to fire up the Win10 box to check a few things.

    Other members might have the steps at hand.

    @Slartybart, just curious how does UAC have to do with anything with the calendar though? Because syncing events is fine, and adding calendars syncing is fine, but deleting is the issue.

    However, I moved the UAC to the defualt one and selected ok, with no results I moved it back all the way down to the lowest level. "Never notify".

    Also, de-select the unwanted calendar?
    I assume you mean on the windows 10 app, you deselect the box or untick the box? Nothing happens, it just doesn't show up on the monthly view then.

    Issue sadly still isn't fixed. :C

  7. I'm not sure - but setting UAC to default has resolved many issues with UWP Apps. It was a thing to test - unfortunately it did not help with the issue your machine exhibits.

    Ok, deselecting the Calendar didn't have any affect either *Sad
    The thought behind that was the Calendar App was hanging on to the Calendar because it was selected.

    How did you set up Mail and Calendar account? I asked before, but I might have missed your answer - was it Exchange or Outlook.com?


    Windows 10 Calendar App / OUTLOOK.COM [​IMG]


    I forgot to check on my Win10 box - sorry 'bout that. I'll try to remember next time I fire it up.
    I want to check the location of the Calendar App - uninstalling it might not be enough, you might have to rename the App folder to clear the configuration - not sure.

    If you want to try uninstalling
    Make a backup of your profile (your User\loginName)
    The easiest thing is to just copy the entire folder to a safe location.

    Create a Restore Point

    Launch an elevated PowerShell
    Enter the following command line

    Get-AppxPackage *windowscommunicationsapps* | Remove-AppxPackageexit PowerShell
    Restart the machine

    Launch the MS Store
    Re-install Mail and Calendar App (by Microsoft)
    Store My Library - Install Your Apps from in Windows 10 - Windows 10 Forums

    If you have to reconfigure - pick Outlook.com when you set up an account type

    I'd rather give a better step-by-step, but that will take a bit of time.
    I'd also like to understand the process to restore the Mail and Calendar config if needed.

    Windows 10 Calendar App / OUTLOOK.COM

    If you guys allow me to express what I have got during my trials and errors ......


    If a secondary calendar is created in outlook.com, it shows up in the modern calendar app in all the devices connected to that microsoft account. If it is altered/deleted using the installed outlook client (outlook.exe; as a part of Office 365 or standalone) that is installed to any of those devices, then it is altered/deleted in all the devices.
    I have not tried with OWA as neither me nor my workplace is a subscriber of 365. I believe that it will be the same as above.

    If a calendar is deleted using the free mail account outlook.com (hotmail) and no sort of paid outlook is associated with that microsoft account, then the deletion of the calendar does not have any implication in the modern calendar app.

    Removal of microsoft account does not work, as whenever the old account is assigned back, the secondary calendar comes back.

    Outlook and Outlook.com are different animals, but it seems that if you pay for outlook, it enhances some capabilities of outlook.com as well.

    I did not found any role of UAC here.

    I am not saying that it is the conclusion, it is just what I found.

    Hey, so yes I've answered that before I created my email account about lets say 10 years ago when the domain was "hotmail.com" so yes I'm sure its outlook.com. I have no idea what "exchange" is but I've had it before.

    Also I've actually tried that already, multiple times in fact as mentioned in previous posts.
    Uninstalled using Powershell, and so on. Reset the microsoft store, then install. THEN install back, then it syncs back back to exactly to where I was with all the crap calendars.

    So.. What should I even do at this point? I AM not going to be a subcriber or premium member for microsoft at all. There has to be a way to fix this.. or the app is pretty much renderederd useless lol.

    ALSO to mention i DONT know if this affects anything but.

    I use Outlook.com on GOOGLE CHROME.
    I use Outlook app on iPhone 5S iOS.
    I use WINDOS 10 Calendar, connected to Outlook.com
    NO SYNCING PROBLEMS WITH ADDING EVENTS IN ANY WAY. With the exception of deleting calendars, I have problems.

    Just wanna put that out there .

  11. I understand that your eMail server is Hotmail, that's not what I was asking. Ms doesn't help with it's terminology - I was asking about the protocol you use to connect to Outlook.com (that's why I posted the picture .. guess that wasn't much help)

    The image really doesn't show protocols either - what ti shows is MS's attempt to make things easier. They're basically templates with the protocol (usually IMAP) and the server's requirements (address, port, SSL, etc).

    There were Mail app releases where the available options changed - eventually they added Outlook.com (or it was there, the removed it, and they added it back). I know this because, in testing, I picked Exchange - it let me get to outlook.com mail, but I couldn't affect any changes - it was sort of locked.

    Yeah, sorry about that - I read your thread again and saw that you have tried an uninstall and a reinstall.

    What exact Powershell command did you use? There are two methods

    This doesn't really uninstall the app
    Get-appxpackage -allusers *windowscommunicationsapps* | Remove-AppxPackage
    This really does:
    Get-appxprovisionedpackage –online | where-object {$_.packagename –like "*windowscommunicationsapps*"} | remove-appxprovisionedpackage –online
    Before attempting the next steps
    Backup your user folder
    create a Restore point

    Navigate to %LocalAppdata% (you can copy the %variable% string and paste it in the address box of File Explorer)
    Rename the Comms folder to Comms-x

    Now reinstall the Mail and Calendar app

    Hey, I actually never tried "windowscommunicationsapps", I used the mail and calendar one.
    Also,

    This really does:Get-appxprovisionedpackage –online | where-object {$_.packagename –like "*windowscommunicationsapps*"} | remove-appxprovisionedpackage –online
    Doesn't work for me.

    This doesn't really uninstall the appGet-appxpackage -allusers *windowscommunicationsapps* | Remove-AppxPackage
    Works for me dont know why, I am using powershell as ADMIN.

    So yeah, it uninstalled the mail and calendar app and I reinstalled. My account was listed there already as outlook then i click it, then it pretty much brings me exactly back to where I was.

    did you also rename the Comms folder?

    +edit
    What exact Powershell command did you use?
    windowscommunicationsapps and the mail and calendar one should be the same thing

    Try these commands in an elevated PowerShell

    Get-appxpackage -allusers *windowscommunicationsapps*
    Get-appxprovisionedpackage –online | where-object {$_.packagename –like "*windowscommunicationsapps*"}

    Copy the results and paste it on your thread - thanks-edit

    I have no idea till now, mate. I have failed to find a feasible solution that is applicable in your environment.
    I will try some alternatives like thunderbird. If I can find a solution, I will definitely post it for you.
     
  15. tiuernh Win User
    Lol sorry, I don't understand what "exact powershell" command you mean.
    I presssed windows key, and typed in Powershell, Windows Powershell in ADMIN mode.
