Why am I unable to edit some calendar events?
I've got some longstanding events in my calendar. They're birthday reminders for some people I know. The issue is there's some details about the reminders which are wrong. (The birth dates are a day earlier than they should be.) Obviously, whenever I created these events, or they were pulled in from something else, they were done with the wrong data. I'd love to edit the data, but I can't. I've tried editing the data using Outlook for Windows 10, and also using Outlook.com. When I tried editing it with Outlook for Windows 10 the data was disabled, indicating that I didn't have read/write access to it. When I tried editing the data within Outlook.com all Outlook.com would do is say that there's something wrong (no help telling me what's wrong) and that I should refresh the web page. Doing so does nothing to resolving the issue, as that error message just kept popping up.
So then, where in heck is the data? Why can't I edit it? Heck, I can't even delete it. So, how do I get these data fixed?

This used to happen to me a lot, especially living in different time zones.
Try to go into the actual person who's birthday it is and adjust it there. Choose the person in contacts/people. Edit Contact and go to the Details column if using Outlook. If you are using Outlook.com, the birthday should appear.
Another thing that would happen is the time zones feature being added so if an event started at midnight, and you changed time zones, the event may start the day prior. You may have to adjust those if the all day event is spanning 2 days.
