Update the app

The first thing we should do in case we see problems with the Calendar application in Windows is to check that we have it updated to the latest version available. The problem may be caused by an error in the old version of the application. This, possibly, has been corrected with an update, so it is convenient to check and verify that we have the latest version, and if not, proceed to update it.

To do this, we must access the Microsoft Store from the taskbar or the Start menu and type Calendar in the search box and select “Mail and calendar” . In case we have an old version, a button will appear that says “Update” on the application page, so we must press it to proceed with its download. Once downloaded, we must verify that the events that had disappeared reappear in the application. In case the “Update” button does not appear, it means that we have the latest version available.

In case it’s not an update issue, we can try to reset calendar sync. Occasionally, it has been shown that if we have trouble finding third-party calendar events in the Windows 10 Calendar app, it can be fixed by disabling and re-enabling the Calendar app sync settings.

To do this we must start the Calendar on our computer and click on the Configuration icon located at the bottom left. Here we will select the option “Account management” .

Use the Microsoft Store troubleshooter

Windows 10 has a troubleshooter dedicated to detecting and solving any problem that arises with the applications that have been installed from the Microsoft Store.

For this we will press the keyboard shortcut “Windows + I” to access the Configuration panel. Now let’s find Microsoft Store and click on the option that appears. Then click on “Advanced Options”. Here, we will make sure that the “Apply automatic restorations” box is checked and click on “Next”. Now the troubleshooter will look for possible problems and recommend what to do.

Next, we click on “Advanced Options” and click on the “Reset” button. A warning will appear warning that the Calendar data will be deleted. Click again on “Reset” to continue.
