  1. Why Cortana Reminders keeps secretly changing the time it's suppose to remind you?


    I have multiple reminders that are suppose to be reminding me of certain Pomodoros taskweekly, and Cortana specifically changes those to monthly reminders without telling me. For example, I had a reminder assigned to remind me every Thursday morning. That reminder is now reminding me "Every Month on the 24th" at the Same time of day. I realized it only today.


    This has been happening to me for the past two years and I'm surprised nobody has brought it up in the community. It's easy to resolve the issue by just redoing the reminder times, but I shouldn't have to be punished like that, especially when the problem just keeps resurfacing.


    Is it because I don't hit "Complete" on the reminders right away? Is it because I use more than 20 reoccurring reminders and most of them have images and emojis attached to it? What glitch is causing this frustration?


    Whatever it is, I don't need help right away; I just wanted to state that this is a problem on here so people know it exists.

    :)

    Time-based Cortana reminders not notifying

    Hi,

    I've been searching about this topic for several hours already, trying the various suggestions found on other articles and threads, to no avail.

    The problem: Whenever I ask Cortana to set a time-based reminder, the reminder never actually pops up when the time comes. I don't know if it's supposed to show up on my calendar, but it doesn't do that also.

    Context:

    • Cortana creates the reminder without issues, and shows it as coming up until the clock hits the deadline
    • When the set time arrives, I get no reminder pop-up or notification, and the reminder itself gets classed among "missed reminders" in the Cortana notebook
    • I have turned off Quiet Hours or Focus, and have made sure that all applications, including Cortana, can issue notifications
    • I have made sure that all of the time-, region- and language-oriented settings are consistent and accurate to my physical location (UK and UK English) across the board
    • I have given Cortana linked access to my Calendar and Office 365
    • If I ask Cortana to create a calendar event, this works, appears on my calendar, and I get a notification when the appropriate time comes.

    Genuinely have no idea what else I can do to get these damn reminders to work.

    Cortana Reminder Stuck

    I had set a reminder in Cortana and to remind me at 8pm everyday for it. Once I completed the task, I deleted the reminder from Cortana. This was a couple of weeks ago, and now all of a sudden, Cortana started listing it as a meeting at 8pm and it keeps
    coming back everyday. This supposed meeting is not in my Calendar and no meetings or reminders remain in Cortana. Its annoying because I want to have meetings displayed in Cortana to remind me about them, but this meeting which was originally just a reminder
    keeps popping up. I already contacted Microsoft and had them take remote control of my computer, but it was completely useless. If anyone has any solutions I'd appreciate it!
