Outlook Calendar Reminders Not Working

Anonymous

since the "update" to Microsoft 365 a couple weeks ago, Outlook reminders are only working some of the time. I've missed a couple meetings because either I never got the reminder or I snoozed it and it never showed.

I ran outlook.exe /cleanreminders but it didn't do anything.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

    this is a huge problem. I rely heavily on the Outlook calendar and feel like Microsoft has really let me down with the new colour palette and now reminders not working properly.

    and it's not like I can simply use the Windows 10 calendar because it doesn't show Group calendars.

    this is not good...please fix Outlook.

    Microsoft, can you please confirm that someone is at least looking at this issue? It's obviously affecting a number of people and is therefore a high priority.

    Your wall of silence is deafening!

    I'm also having the same problem. I missed a meeting this morning because of the lack of a reminder.

    I've been through all the troubleshooting suggestions (reminders turned on, run outlook /cleanreminders, check storage directory is in the right location, etc). It might sometimes generate a reminder, but then fails with other meetings.

    This is obviously a problem affecting a number of people. Please prioritise fixing it. This is what the business world uses Outlook for.

    Hi Joey

    I've updated. It's now build 2004 (12827.20336). Why doesn't it ever update itself like it says it will?

    Any way, the fact that calendar reminders are not working on 2 different PCs tells me that adding a new profile will be a waste of time. I'm going to use my laptop today so will see if they are working on it.

    This is a huge problem for me. I've missed meetings and tasks because I have not received reminders. I rely heavily on them working as they should.
