Outlook Calendar as Default Setting not working

Using Macbook Pro 2022 with M1Pro chip and macOS Ventura 13.2.1.

Hello, I see a bunch of questions on this but the support response is to contact Microsoft. It is not MSFT that is the issue, it is the macOS that is not applying Microsoft as the default calendar when it is selected.

MSFT has no problem adding it if I right click and select "open with" but the default "open with" should be Microsoft as it is selected in the settings. So, how do I get the macOS to acknowledge that MSFT calendar is the default calendar to open all invites when it is already selected in settings but not acknowledging/applying the selection?

Thanks!

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 10.12

Hi bcsanto,

Thanks for posting in Apple Support Communities.

We understand that in the Calendar Preferences you have Outlook selected as the default calendar to open to, but this selection isn't working.

If you have already restarted since making this change to your preferences, restart your Mac in safe mode and check Calendar for the default calendar. Safe mode limits software that is allowed to start up while running a health check on your disk.

How to use safe mode

Determine whether you're using a Mac with Apple silicon, then follow the appropriate steps:

Apple silicon

1. Shut down your Mac.

2. Turn on your Mac and continue to press and hold the power button until you see the startup options window.

3. Select your startup disk, then press and hold the Shift key while clicking “Continue in Safe Mode.”

4. Log in to your Mac. You might be asked to log in again.
