Outlook Calendar - Timezone Issues

Question

TLDR: Both my Outlook calendar client & browser are displaying EST as 2hrs ahead of PST (should be 3hrs), and CST as 1hr ahead of PST (should be 2 hrs).

After the recent Daylight Savings time change, my time-zones are displayed incorrectly in both the Outlook Calendar Client and Browser. I have tried everything from logging out/in, removing and re-adding the time-zones, removing then restarting device then re-adding. I have also confirmed that my time-zone on my laptop is correct and timesynced. I have confirmed this issue on an alternate device. I am not sure where to go from here to fix the issue. I have attached photos of the issue and my device settings.

Photo 1 - Displays my Outlook Browser time settings and my laptop Date and Time settings.

Photo 2 - Screenshot from Outlook Calendar in browser. The red box shows that the times are not lining up correctly. EST should be 3 hrs ahead of PST. CST should be 2 hours ahead of PST. But for some reason they are aligning as EST at 2 hrs ahead and CST at 1 hr ahead.

You can also note in the blue circles are the correct time chunks, and the text is slightly more bold than the other times.

Hi @Morgan Borck ,

According to my understanding, you want to display the three time zones of PST, CST and EST in the calendar of Outlook, right? Regarding the problem of the wrong time offset, I found the documentation Daylight Saving Time Calendar Display Bugs, which explains why it is, and the current workaround is that you need to switch the view to Work Week. (Note: Since the web site is not hosted by Microsoft, the link may change without notice. Microsoft does not guarantee the accuracy of this information.)
My test results are shown below：

Also, I noticed that the CST you added in the Outlook client seems to be inconsistent with the one in the browser, you should add Central Time (US & Canada) in Outlook.

Please let us know if there has such update when you tried these steps.
