Original story (published on March 2, 2023) follows:

Windows Calendar is a powerful and versatile tool that makes scheduling and organizing your life a breeze. It provides a simple and intuitive interface for users to create and manage events, and set reminders.

One of the key features of the Windows Calendar app is its integration with other Microsoft services such as Outlook and Microsoft Teams. This allows users to easily sync their schedules across different devices and platforms.

However, there seems to be an issue with it.

According to reports, Windows Calendar app users say it keeps crashing, making it impossible for them to use it (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8).

The affected users claim that the moment they click on the Calendar app, it begins to load before closing abruptly. When users attempt to go to the calendar after the mail has opened, the app opens briefly before crashing.

Microsoft recently began releasing the V16005.14326.21344.0 update, which some Windows users claim appears to have broken the Calendar app.

Troubleshooting methods like restarting the PC, updating Windows and also uninstalling and reinstalling the Calendar app don’t seem to work.
