Windows 10 Calendar

Options
Hmmm! Is anyone else a bit naffed off with this?

Initially the Windows 10 Calendar app looked promising. View all your calendars and e-mails in one place.

I then found that when I made a diary entry, it sometimes immediately disappeared.

I noticed that entries in the immediate future stayed, and re-occurring events, but not those way ahead. Also old entries were no longer there.

Seems, after hours of messing and assuming I had a problem, that Microsoft have taken the decision that you only need to see entries for the last 3 months and up to the next 6 months. Others are hidden. They appear on my phone and Kindle but not my Windows 10 laptop.

So, when I find I have arranged to visit 3 different people for Christmas lunch this year ..... I will know who to blame!

Microsoft ..... will you PLEASE stop trying to tell me how I should live me life / run my laptop, and allow ME to decide!
Thank you for this site :jNow OH and I are both retired, MSE is a Godsend

    'One Calendar' from the app store linked to a Google calendar works very well for me. It will link to Outlook and exchange calendars also, but not tried those.

    I use Google calendar as like you I need to see into the future, often more than a year, I often look back when I need to know when I did a certain thing.

    My life is complicated by the fact my calendar is a fusion of mine and that of a very busy girlfriend. We both put events in each others calendar and sort out any clashes when they occur.

    Google calendar syncs with my Mac, my android phone, my Samsung tablet and just works with very email client I've tried on the Mac and that includes MS Outlook although I have since gone back to Apple Mail.

    It shows me everything and has never let me down and all my devices show exactly the same thing which is always essential.
