Microsoft To-Do and Cortana integration in Windows 10

Microsoft To-Do helps you manage, prioritize, and complete the most important things you need to achieve every day, powered by Office 365 integration.

Now, with Cortana integration, you can save time and stay organized — Cortana helps by adding your reminders and tasks to your lists in Microsoft To-Do, so you can stay on top of what matters most. Use your voice, your PC, your phone — your choice.

Streamline your tasks — your lists and reminders from across Microsoft To-Do, Cortana, and tasks in Outlook can now become one — centrally located in your Microsoft To-Do app. Use Microsoft To-Do anywhere: on your Android or iPhone, with Cortana, or on your Windows 10 PC. You can also access Microsoft To-Do from the web. It’s automatically synced so you never miss a beat.

With this integration, we are furthering efforts to seamlessly sync your to-do lists across Microsoft To-Do, Cortana, and your Outlook tasks. Follow the quick steps below and give it a try. To share feedback, join the cohort or use the Feedback Hub.

Getting started

Your Windows 10 PC must be running Windows 10 Insider Preview Build 18267+ and tied to either an Australia, India, US, or UK region. To sync your reminders and lists across Cortana, Microsoft To-Do, and Outlook, set up Outlook or Office 365 as a connected service in Cortana on your PC:

Cortana > Notebook > Manage Skills > Connected services

Select your account type:

Personal Microsoft account: select Outlook

Enterprise account: select Office 365

Click Connect.

Your reminders and lists across Cortana, Microsoft To-Do and Outlook will start syncing.

If you already have Outlook or Office 365 set up as a connected service in Cortana, initiate the sync by trying one of these actions:

Reminders: Cortana > Notebook > Organizer > Reminders or

Lists: Cortana > Notebook > Organizer > Lists

Then, sign into the Microsoft To-Do app or Outlook with the same personal or enterprise account you used earlier when setting up connected services in Cortana. All your reminders and lists will now be synced across Cortana, Microsoft To-Do and Outlook.

Learn more about connected services in Cortana.

Things to try

Add items to a list

Open the Microsoft To-Do app on your PC and create a new list titled “Travel”.

Ask Cortana to add “Paris” to your “Travel” list.

Verify if “Paris” was automatically added to your “Travel” list on Microsoft To-Do.

Your accounts should sync automatically. If you need to force a sync, go to Microsoft To-Do app > click on your account name > Settings > Sync

Set reminders

Ask Cortana: “Remind me to call Dave in 2 minutes.”

Wait for the reminder. You should receive a Microsoft To-Do reminder, and a Cortana reminder.

The reminder should appear both in your Microsoft To-Do planned tasks and your Cortana To-Do lists.

In the Microsoft To-Do app and Cortana, you can also add a time reminder on any item in the lists.

Recall items on a list

Ask Cortana: “What is on my To-Do list?”

Try this with any other named lists. “What is on my Grocery list?”

Recall your reminders

Go to the Microsoft To-Do app and click on Tasks.

Create a new task and add to the Task list.

Click on the new task to edit.

Click on “Remind me” and set a reminder for later in the day.

Ask Cortana: “What are my reminders for today?”

Try with other query patterns such as “What are my reminders in the evening?” etc.

Known Issues

(last updated 12.18.18)
There are a few known issues we’re tracking to and working to resolve:

Works best when you disconnect Wunderlist from Cortana.

Location-based reminders can only be created in Cortana, while you can view them in your Microsoft To-Do app.

Attachments added with Cortana are only accessible in Cortana (won’t sync to Microsoft To-Do)

A list shared between multiple people in the Microsoft To-Do app will only appear in Cortana for the person who shared it. All members of the list can still access the list in Microsoft To-Do.

You may see duplicate notifications for a single reminder — from Cortana, Microsoft To-Do, and Outlook apps on your Windows 10 PC or iOS phone. Learn how to change notification settings in Windows 10

You may get “Too many reminders” error while setting up reminders using Cortana on a Windows phone. Delete some of the completed reminders as a workaround. Go to Cortana > Notebook > Reminders > History > Completed either on PC or Windows phone.
