Windows 10: Windows Alarm playing while off.

So every time I click on the notification tab in the taskbar my alarm starts playing even though it is off, anyone have an idea as to why?

How to configure the alarm that plays for Calendar reminders

I use the Calendar a lot and set numerous reminders that I really need to know about as soon as they become due. My Windows Mobile phone handled these very well and allowed me to choose an alarm sound and set how long the alarm repeated for, but I can't
seem to find any similar options in Windows Phone 7.

Specifically:

• How can I choose which sound will play when a Calendar reminder is triggered? I can't find any setting for this.
• How can I make the alarm sound play repeatedly until I stop it?

Many thanks!

Hi Marc,

To address your concern, we suggest that you synchronize the system clock with an internet time server in Windows 10. To do that, follow these steps:

• Open the Control Panel, and click on the Date and Time icon.
• Click/on the Internet Time tab, and click on the Change settings
  button. If prompted by UAC, click on Yes.
• Check the Synchronize with an Internet time server box, select a time server, and click on
  Update now. If an error occurred, click on Update now again to see if it may successfully synchronize. When the clock is successfully synchronized, click on
  OK.
• Click on OK.
• Go to Alarm & Clock app and test the alarm.

Let us know how it goes after performing the steps.
