Office 365 Outlook Task Categories Disappearing

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.

    Jamil Haddadin, thank you!  I think this finally fixed it.  To be clear, I have a apple watch and iphone 5SE.  Both are up to date as to software.  I had already removed reminders from both devices, turned off notifications, to no avail. 

    I went to settings, passwords & accounts, chose the account on which I have tasks (I have 3 accounts), and slid reminders to off.  I left calendars, emails, contacts on. Then I re-categorized everything, for the umpteenth time.  In the past, the task categories were disappearing about 9:00 am.  It is now 9:30, and so far everything is good today.

    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!

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

    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.

    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
