If you ever find yourself in this situation, I have figured out a five (5) fixes for Windows 10 Calendar now showing events.

This issue often arises due to a bug in the older versions of the Microsoft Calendar app. Some users have also reported this issue after upgrading their computers to a new operating system. Whatever the causative agent is, the good news is that this issue can be fixed. In this post, we have listed five different ways to get it fixed below.

1. Re-Establish Calendar Sync

If you are having issues finding events from a third-party calendar account in the Microsoft Calendar app, disabling and re-enabling the sync settings of the Calendar app (and account) has proven to be an effective fix. Here’s how to get it done.

Step 1: Launch the Calendar app on your computer.

Step 2: Tap the gear icon at the bottom-left corner of the app to open the Calendar Settings menu.

Step 3: Select Manage Accounts.

Step 4: Select the account whose events are missing or are not syncing properly to your Microsoft Calendar.

Step 5: On the new window, tap ‘Change mailbox sync settings’ option.

Step 6: Toggle off the Calendar option and toggle it back on.

Step 7: Tap Done.

Step 8: Afterward, click the Save icon to save the sync settings.

Your events from the account should now appear in the Microsoft Calendar app. Also, you should no longer experience the Microsoft Calendar not showing events problem.

2. Confirm Synchronization Capabilities

If you often find that events that you sync from another calendar not showing up in your Windows PC Calendar app, you should confirm that the calendar account supports synchronization with the Microsoft Calendar app.

Currently, the Microsoft Calendar app supports calendar synchronization from the following third-party accounts and services: Yahoo!, Google, Apple iCloud, Microsoft Exchange (or Office 365), and Microsoft’s Outlook.

If you are syncing any calendar outside of these accounts or services, your events will most likely not appear in the Microsoft Calendar app.

3. Update Calendar App

Is your Microsoft Calendar app up-to-date? If it isn’t, you should check whether you are running the latest version of the app. The missing event issue could be due to a bug in the old/outdated version of the Microsoft Calendar app you are running on Windows 10 PC.

Step 3: If you are running an outdated version of the Microsoft Calendar app, there would be an Update button on the app description page. Tap this button to update your Calendar app.
