Hiding Group Calendar in Outlook 2016 causes Outlook hang indefinitely

Question

I created a Planner in Microsoft 365, and it was automagically added to my Outlook 2016 Desktop application. The Planner calendar shows up as a Group Calendar. Every time that I try to Hide or unselect that specific calendar, the Outlook 2016 application hangs indefinitely (I have to end the task). I don't want to delete the Plan in Planner. How else can I remove/hide this Planner in Outlook 2016?

Hi @Josh M Wilson ,
Welcome to Microsoft Q&A forum and posting your question here.

I created a Planner in Microsoft 365, and it was automagically added to my Outlook 2016 Desktop application.

According to my search, Outlook calendar sync in Microsoft Planner allows users to view their Planner schedule in Outlook. This feature is turned on automatically in Planner.
If you are a global admin and you want to turn off calendar sync in Microsoft Planner, you can use Windows PowerShell.
The detailed steps for your reference:

1. Prerequisites for making Planner changes in Windows PowerShell
2. Turn off or on Outlook calendar sync in Planner using PowerShell
   Open PowerShell and run the following command to turn off Outlook calendar sync for Planner: Set-PlannerConfiguration -AllowCalendarSharing $false

Not using a feature because it's faulty goes inline with advising someone to "not turn left because the car is faulty when turning left" instead of just fixing it.

We want fixes, not shifty workarounds to use the software we're paying for!

Thanks
