Google Calendar stopped sending Notifications.
I've done a search and it seems this is not a new problem. I can't seem to fix it though. I have a win 10 22H2 laptop, latest software and I've used a Google Calendar for years. I regularly set notifications on events, to generate an email to me 1 week, 2 days etc. before the event. This stopped working recently - perhaps…

All fine when I'm listening at home on wifi but stops & starts a lot once out and about. Any idea where I'm going wrong? Thanks

The manager has to fill-in for each team the split of effort by member and product over the next month so the sum of the team must be 100%. This then goes into a db via an upload in the central team. The form is…
