How do you turn off reminders of shared calendars

Question

My wife shares her Outlook calendars with me and I share mine with her.

I get reminders for my appointments.

Now I am getting reminders for appointments on her calendar.

And she is now getting reminders for my appointments that are on my calendar.

We didn't used to get these and don't want them.

How can we change a setting to avoid getting reminders for each other's calendar appointments, but retain getting reminders for our own?

Answer 1

I have the same problem. And ist started exactly when I upgraded MS Office to the last version due to the imminent Outlook problem currently exploited by hackers..

Anyway, the version which started that for me is: Microsoft® Word für Microsoft 365 MSO (Version 2301 Build 16.0.16026.20214) 64 Bit

This drives me nuts. I have in the meantime removed the shared calendars of my work colleauges because I did not find a solution. But I cannot work efficiantly that way.

Usually the responses and the hints I found on the internet to this topic (and it seems to be a known issue), only deal with mundane questions (like how to I enable notification, etc.).

People seem not to grasp the problem.

In summary:

• I have added the calendars of my co-workers to my own calendar.
• Until last week, I only got meeting notifications for my own events. That is what i want.
• Since I updatedt Office, I receive, in addition to my own even notifications, also the event notifications of each entry in my co-corkers calendars. This is someting I do not want.
• I have disabled Calendar enhancements in Outlook. That did not solve the issue.

I almost believe that there is clearly a bug (or would microsoft also say "hidden feature"?) of the last Office update.

Any help would be appreciated..
