Apple iCal opens and then immediately closes

I'm running latest Monterey OS but even before this upgrade the calendar on my MacBook will open and then close immediately. Very frustrating!! Is this a common thing and does anyone know of a fix?

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 10.13

Macbook Pro Calendar not open after upgraded to 13.0.1 (22A400) I have just installed my MacBook pro (M1) to 13.0.1 (22A400), and then the calendar is not able to open. It always pop up with this error page "Calendar quit unexpectedly". I tried to restart the laptop couple of times. No Luck! So anyone can suggest me a solution?

Mac Calendar.app freezes on trying to edit events On the latest Sequoia 15.2, M1 Macbook Pro. Started happening yesterday. Any attempt to edit the body of an event causes a 1-2 minute freeze of the Calendar app, rendering it completely non-reactive/unusable in the moment when I place the cursor in any of the event fields. During the freeze, 1 CPU core seems to run at 100%. Happens both on iCloud and on Exchange calendars. On another Mac, configured with the same accounts and same MacOS version, no such problem. I tried force-quitting and restarting the calendar (also with Shift) restarting the whole Mac disabling/re-enabling the respective calendars on the iCloud and Exchange internet accounts. Any idea how to debug this problem? The Calendar is a life-critical app for me...

Calendar app freezing on MacBook Air M2 I’m experiencing freezing when entering calendar events on my MacBook Air M2 2022 Sequoia. The only solution is to close the Calendar app and restart. If you have similar issues, what did you do to resolve them? [Re-Titled by Moderator]

Restart your computer, and try to open Calendar while depressing the shift key.
