Quiet Hours in Windows 10 Mobile

Anonymous

I recently upgraded my phone from the Nokia Lumia 1020 to the Nokia Lumia 950. It came preloaded with Windows 10 Mobile. While I am still learning to navigate the operating system on the phone, although it seems easy since I run Windows 10 on my PC, I am having difficulty with using the Quiet Hours function. Using Windows 8.1 on my old phone allowed me to set up Cortana to block all calls during times when my calendar had been marked as busy. This was great as I would just put my classes into my schedule and my students never heard my phone unless it was an emergency. However, now it seems that the only way to set up Quiet Hours is to manually tell the phone to turn on the QH function or set it up for specific times regardless of my schedule. It seems funny that this function went backwards when everything else went forward. Is there any way to do it like I did before?

Hello Nyght,

Thank you for contacting Microsoft Community.

I appreciate your patience in this regard.

Quiet hours will turn on automatically at the times you've set. But you can still turn it on manually. When you go to Quiet hours setting it will give many flexible options that allows you to customize Quiet hours accordingly. Sat for example, you can set date on which the phone should enable the quite hours along with Start and End time. Basis to which Quiet hours will turn on automatically.

It also allows you to Edit break-through list. Where you can allow the emergency calls from desired contacts. Moreover Cortana will also send text to contacts who aren't allowed through, saying that I'm busy at the moment.

With regard to the desired task or event sync from the Calendar app, I suggest you to post your feedback using Windows feedback app, which will helps us to look into this with future updates. This will helps us to improve your experience.

Keep us posted if you require further assistance.

Thanks for your reply Peter. I did previously look under the Cortana notebook section butcoudnt find whereto set the times but once I selected to turn on the option then the option to chose times became available so I've set it and saw a moon icon on the glance screen to indicate that it was on

Disappointing response from Microsoft. Like we don't know how to turn to QH manually and that we don't have anything better to do than posting feedback that falls on deaf ears. I feel offended and my intelligence questioned.

has anyone found a way to set the quiet hour times? I'm running the anniversary update of win 10 mobile and its not under Cortana notebook settings. it seems the only way to stop notification sounds is to mute the phone which is an all or nothing approach which isn't great Iv seen an app on the windows store which looks like a it might work but surly this option should be built in to the mobile OS without users having to install an app to get a basic functionality like this
