  MICROSOFT 365

  

  By Peter Deegan

  Microsoft To Do is a vast expansion of, and improvement on, the basic Tasks feature in Outlook apps.

  Instead of just simple text and due dates, To Do has more organization options, sharing of task lists, and steps within a task — plus dedicated Windows, Mac and mobile apps, as well as a Web-based app.

  It’s available to everyone but works best with a Microsoft-hosted mailbox such as Outlook.com or Microsoft 365. There’s also integration into Outlook for Windows (classic and new) and macOS: if you click on the Tasks icon in Outlook, you’ll get To Do.

• Patch Lady – issues with syncing Outlook calendar with icloud calendar after 2004

  Posted on June 4, 2020 at 11:27 CDT by Susan Bradley • Comment in the Forums

  From a fellow geek… “BTW the only thing that didn’t work properly after the Windows 10 2004 update was syncing my Outlook calendar on my PC with my iCloud calendar. The “official” solution was to uninstall iCloud app from PC and then reinstall the iCloud app. Instead of uninstall/reinstall, I told Windows to repair the app. That worked.”

  Seeing several reports of this issue.  If you are impacted try that work around.  It appears to be most impacting Office 365 and iCloud app interaction.
