Microsoft calendar errors follow Canada’s decision to stop seasonal clock changes
Parts of British Columbia, Alberta and Manitoba stopped changing their clocks on 1 November, but Microsoft’s software had not fully adapted, The Register reports. Microsoft said some Outlook meetings scheduled after the change may show the wrong time; users must update existing events, while fixes for recurring meetings and other services are still in development or pending.
Bottom line — Microsoft’s recurring-meeting fix has no confirmed arrival date.
