After months of properly displaying my calendars from Outlook.com AND from Google, Lightning yesterday started showing wrong times for all events in my calendars read from Outlook.com--but not Google, which Lightning still displays with the correct times. 

Events shown on Outlook.com correctly as 7:30pm now show up as 12:30 am in Lightning!!!!

I checked the Tools/Option/location and Lightning does correctly believe that I am currently in America/New York. These incorrect times showed up without my changing anything in the program.

I also tried to fix it by selecting a calendar sync...and by re-entering my location as America NY...but these steps did NOT fix the problem.

Could something happen in the inter-face between Lightning and Outlook Com that causes a mistaken substitution of GMT time? (I believe my location in NY-USA has EDT time that is now is 5 hours off GMT time???

Any help or suggestions to fix this will be very much appreciated.

I suggest you check the timezone set for you on the outlook web site.

Thank you for your help. After reading your suggestion, I checked the Outlook site. It has my correct time zone -- it says UTC-5:00 -Eastern US & Canada.

So that is not the problem. Outlook com has my correct geography, and the event times on its calendar are correct. It is only the translation to Lighning that has suddenly gone bad (last two day).

Update: Now the wrong times are being shown by Lightning on BOTH my calendars--my google AND my Outlook.com calendars. (My windows 10 system clock shows the correct time and date in the taskbar.)

Temporarily, as a short-term response, I have told Lightning that my location is the Isle of Jersey in Europe, instead of in New York.

But this can't be normal, right? I'd be grateful for any help or suggestions.
