Windows 10 Calendar App / OUTLOOK.COM

tiuernh · 30 May 2016

@Arc, wow I really thought that was it haha, unfortunately it didn't help. I went to outlook mail, folders, and deleted items. ACCORDING to your screenshot you have a outlook.com calendar, not sure how you did because I don't have it. I only have things that I deleted manually myself which was just junk mail and random things. However i followed your steps anyway, and cleared cookies don't see how this affects the app itself but I did it anyway.

However this didn't still not solve my problem sadly..

For those who are wondering what my calendar currently looks like right now, I created a bunch of "secondary calendars" and none of them can now get deleted

its like permanent now, i've also blacked out a couple calendars because those are the ones i actulaly use and need so i blacked it, everything else was for testing purposes but now I cant even delete them..

Now I am thinking that it may not be possible to do it without having a desktop outlook client (either standalone or as a part of office 365) installed.

@Cliff haha as soon as I installed winodws 10 i immedateily lowered the UAC setting all the way down.
...

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.

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

Interesting thread.
I'm subscribing to this one.

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.

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

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

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?

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-AppxPackage

exit 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.
