More info: Users that have access to Outlook on the web can use this connection method to access their shared calendars without issue while we focus on remediating the problem.
Current status: Our investigation so far has determined that an unusually large volume of hyperlinks are cached in the Outlook desktop app navigation panel data cache, preventing the data pathway used by shared calendars from functioning as expected and leading to impact. While we continue our investigation to isolate the root cause of the hyperlink proliferation, we recommend following the link in the More Info section above to bypass this issue.
