## Key points

- Canadian clock changes disrupted several Microsoft products.
- Outlook meetings may need manual updates.
- Some fixes and workarounds are still pending.

## Summary

Parts of Canada stopped changing their clocks on 1 November, leaving affected regions on fixed time zones. Microsoft’s software had not fully adapted, causing incorrect times and disrupted calendars and schedules for some customers.

Outlook users must change their calendar time zone and update upcoming meetings; only organisers can amend meetings involving others. Changing recurring meetings’ time zones can reset moved occurrences, which then need to be recreated. Microsoft’s fixes are arriving on different schedules: SharePoint On-Prem is due an update on 10 November, while a Power Pages service fix is targeted for 12 December. Temporary workarounds for Power Automate and Fabric include setting systems to other locations, such as Bogota for Manitoba.
