New Outlook - Calendar Reminders Disapearing

Anonymous
2024-11-16T19:10:51+00:00

I noticed if I leave a calendar reminder alone, after a day it will disappear. I went into settings and confirmed the option to automatically dismiss old reminders is turned OFF. There seems to be a bug here. Please investigate.0

As you can imagine, it is a huge risk to my business for these reminders that I depend on to disappear without my knowledge.

Also, if you would PLEASE just give us the option to snooze a reminder longer than 2 hours, that would help this issue tremendously.

    I found the answer to my issue here:

    https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/add-or-delete-notifications-or-reminders-in-outlook-7a992377-ca93-4ddd-a711-851ef3597925#ID0EBD=New\_Outlook

    About 1/2 way down the article are instructions to turn notifications on/off. If you look at the image you'll see a switch to "automatically dismiss past reminders". Make sure that is turned off. Mine was on. I assume it was set as a default from a recent upgrade. Hope that helps

    I am having the same issue. In the Old Outlook, the reminder would continue to show until I actioned it, which is what I want. With the New Outlook, the Notifications are disappearing after a period of time which is not good as I rely on them for my work flow.

    Please fix this issue MS.

    I am having the same issue in New Outlook. Calendar event reminder notifications are being set to 'None' for no reason that I can tell. I've gone in and set it to 'Reminder' a couple of times now but the setting reverts to 'None' by itself.

    This is a BAD bug. Please fix MS....

    I raised this using Help > Contact Support in app and they replied and said it's by design!

    They also said I could send feedback via Help > Feedback, but that option doesn't exist - probably also by design!

    Crazy.
