Split from this thread.

I'm having the same issue over the last few days.  Randomly some task categories disappear, but not all. 

I checked my Outlook client and there are no COM Add-ins to disable.  

I do have my Office 365 Outlook tasks go to my iPhone, however I don't do anything with them there.  I did disable the "reminders" in the iPhone Exchange sync, just to take it out of the equation.

    I disabled the iPhone reminders sync yesterday afternoon.  This morning my task list categories are exactly as I left them last night.  It's an intermittent issue, so I'm not totally comfortable saying that fixed it, but I am hopeful.

    Thanks,

    Bianca

    I have tried this step removing reminders from my IOS devices and it made no difference.  Every day I have to reset my task categories.  It is starting to drive me insane.

    Same thing is happening to me everyday. It has been going on for 3-4 months.

    Hi! This same thing is happening to me with tasks losing their categories. I will create and categorize a task in Outlook, and it will go to its proper category. Then, generally around 24 hours later, the task is suddenly uncategorized and at the top of my list under "None." I am running Outlook 365. Please provide support. Thank you!
