Quiet Hours in Windows 10 Mobile

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.

    O frabjous day!! (Apologies to Lewis Carrol).  The latest update to W10 (effective early May 2017) seems to have finally fixed the issue of loosing the breakthrough list, at least for my Lumia 650. The list has stayed visible for more than a week now which surpasses the best pervious of 2 days.  Thank you so much, Microsoft, for fixing it at last.

    I have the Microsoft Lumia 650 and the Quiet Hours setting works by setting times and days you want your phone to remain silence. It works great, to open it just open Cortana by selecting the magnifier glass icon on the lower right, then open the 3-bar icon on the upper left, select Notebook then Quiet Hours. I do have the following settings on:

    Hi,

    I am referring to yashwant's comment that he is able to set quiet hours on specific DATES. I can very well see options for the days of the week bit no date option. So either wp10 on his phone is different from mine or he is confused about the difference between dates and days of the week.

    Ginopalomo has included a screenshot which looks pretty much like mine but there is no date option. Somebody please clarify. It would be great if yashwant can give me specific directions to get to the DATE option.
