Outlook reminder registry name

Question

In a previous thread about past event reminders a registry setting was mentioned

Calendar reminder options missing

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\16.0\Outlook\Options\Reminders
DWORD:AutoDimissPastEvents
Value 0 = don't dismiss

Can anyone confirm if the name is correct or should it be AutoDismissPastEvents ?

Thanks

Hi @RobinC ,

Based on my research, the correct is AutoDismissPastEvents.

Create this key value in the registry and restart Outlook, click Send/Receive > Update Folder.

Reminders of past events pop up.
