I'm having this issue as of yesterday on New Outlook.  Cannot open any calendar event modals.

Version is: 1.2026.617.600

If I kill the outlook processes in Task Manager and re-open, it asks if I want to open the windows that were open when I closed Outlook.  If I click yes, it opens the calendar events that I previously tried to open but wouldn't open.

    Can you repro it still after updating to the latest version?
    1.2026.623.400

    To force an update, open a Run command and type the following;

    olk --force-update

      Thank you.

      The new version after forcing the update fixed the issue for me.
