Windows 10: Planner Reoccurring Tasks

Brae Simpkin · Feb 25, 2025

Hi,In the Planner App, it would be good if repeat tasks could have more options.I would like to see reoccurring tasks have the option to reoccur on the first working day of the month, rather than occurring monthly, which can often fall on a Sat/Sun.It would be great if you could plan tasks, similar to the meeting scheduling tool in Teams. it allows you to be more specific e.g. on the fourth wednesday, or day 23

Microsoft Planner and Microsoft To-Do integration is here

Following swiftly on from flagged email and Cortana, we’re bringing you one step closer to a centralized task management experience with new connectivity between Microsoft Planner and To-Do. Many of you have been asking, and we listened. Starting today, tasks assigned in Planner will now show up in To-Do.

If you’re already using Planner then you’ll know that it’s a great way for your team to create more visualized plan boards, assign tasks, and collaborate to get everything done on time. To-Do, meanwhile, is a simple tool that helps you to accomplish what you need to do today—from shared lists to smaller daily recurring tasks. Together, To-Do and Planner simplify work management by giving you the flexibility to use the best tool for the situation—all without manually syncing individual tasks.

Visualize all your tasks in one place

Have a busy day with many projects on the go, an inbox that definitely isn’t at Inbox Zero, and a bunch of daily tasks? We’re here for you. Instead of constantly switching contexts to keep up with what you must do next, turn on the Planner integration (and the Flagged email integration, for that matter) and you’ll see all your project tasks fitting neatly in with the rest of your tasks in To-Do.

Planner tasks that have been assigned to you will show up in a special Assigned to Me list. Want to work on one of these tasks today? You can add it to My Day, along with tasks from other lists in To-Do, giving you a complete overview of what you’ll be ticking off today. And if you want to get more context or see the comments and file attachments, you can go into your detailed view and select “Open in Planner” to see all the finer details. If the task is a bit overwhelming, you can break it down into smaller steps in To-Do and it’ll also sync to Planner’s Checklist.

Add your Planner tasks to My Day

Get a view of everything you need to accomplish

You won’t just find your tasks in the Assigned to Me list—if you have a due date set then they’ll also show up in your Planned list. This means that you get a view of everything coming up today, tomorrow, or for the rest of the week. If the due dates don’t fit in with your work schedule, then you can change them, and it'll also sync back to Planner. And if you’re a firm fan of My Day then you’ll also find them popping up in Suggestions.

Get Started

We know, we know, you probably can’t wait to get started. If you have tasks assigned to you in Planner, then next time you open To-Do you’ll see an alert asking you if you want to “Track tasks assigned to you in Planner”. Hit Show List and your Assigned to Me list will appear, and your tasks will start to sync. Check here for more options to enable Planner in To-Do. If you’re not familiar with Planner yet, then please note that you will need a license to use the product.

That’s it from us, now it’s over to you. Tell us what you think of the Planner integration in the comments below or over on Twitter or Facebook. We want to hear your feedback.

Task planner and legacy software

I have a problem with Task Planner (Windows 10). I have a very old utility which should run every few minutes. It worked fine under windows10 until I ported it to a different (win10) computer: Task Planner can't run the utility. HOWEVER, it runs fine when I start it by hand! I tried to simulate all circumstances for Task Planner: running the task under my own login and 'only when user is logged on'. But NO.
I can't think of any reason why Task Planner can't run a program which I can run manually with no problem; can you?

Some more info may be relevant. The utility looks into folders of Outlook 2003. (Maybe also more recent versions, but I didn't take any chances and installed Outlook 2003.) It thankfully offers a 'debug mode' and when I put the '-debug' parameter in the 'Action' pane I now get the on-screen errormessage that 'Outlook is not installed or wrong version'. I can't imagine why but more importantly I can't see why Task Planner would generate this error while manually using the utility does not.
