Feex says

If the process is Notion Calendar.exe, that is the Cron app, not Outlook and not the Notion docs wrapper. I would not run outlook.exe /safe to fix it.

What is Notion Calendar?

Notion Calendar is the Cron calendar under a Notion name. Notion Calendar.exe is the Windows process. Classic Outlook is OUTLOOK.EXE. Notion.exe is the docs database app.

If you have never used it

If you used Cron and the app renamed itself, this is Notion Calendar, not Outlook. Download it from notion.com/product/calendar. Notion.exe is the docs workspace. Notion Calendar.exe is the calendar. OUTLOOK.EXE is Microsoft mail and calendar. They do not share a PST.

What is it used for?

Google Calendar in a desktop shell

Cron's original job. Outlook calendar is an Exchange or Microsoft 365 mailbox instead.

Link events to Notion pages

A Notion integration. Outlook does not open those pages as native items.

Scheduling Cron was known for

Booking links the app still markets. That is not Outlook booking via Microsoft Bookings.

Who is it for?

People who already used Cron
Notion users who want a desktop calendar
Anyone who should not open Outlook looking for Cron scheduling links

Current status

Actively developed as Notion Calendar. This article is the Windows calendar app, not Notion.exe.

How old is it?

Cron launched as a calendar in the late 2010s. Notion acquired Cron in 2022 and rebranded it Notion Calendar. The TSV year 2016 matches the Cron-era product family. Outlook 97 is a different line. Notion the docs app is a third window.

Common problems

Two Notion tiles

Notion.exe is pages and databases. Notion Calendar.exe is the calendar. Ending one does not quit the other.

People look for a PST

This app is not classic Outlook. There is no scanpst.exe for Cron.

Getting unstuck

Install from notion.com/product/calendar

The Notion desktop docs download will not replace this calendar exe. Outlook setup will not either.

Sign in with the Google or Notion path the app offers

A Microsoft 365 mailbox belongs in Outlook. This client is not olk.exe.

If you needed Exchange and PST, use classic Outlook

Notion Calendar will not grow MAPI. That is the sibling-swap test.

Alternatives

Classic Outlook, New Outlook, and Google Calendar in a browser overlap. Outlook is the Microsoft sibling this article is not.
