I can enter Reminders and Calendar events on my iPhone, iPad or my Win
10 PC. They are ?synced? in the sense that they all appear in the lists
on all three computers. But how do I get the alert message to pop up on
my Win 10 PC when due please? After much research I?m frustrated that
I?ve still not found a solution.

What calendaring system are you using to share between the different
devices? I use Google calendars and am able to get notifications across
many devices, although not tried windows 10 yet.

Apple's iCloud Calendar and iCloud Reminder apps installed on all.

Ok. So the settings you showed elsethread are windows' own calendaring
systems. They won't change anything, as you're finding out. You need to
check the settings for icloud on your windows machine. I don't use icloud
so can't help on the specifics I'm afraid.


Thanks, that explains my confusion.

Still hoping to hear from someone who has it up and working.

Hi Terry,

Just tested a calendar event created with Fantastical 2 on my iPhone. Asked
for a 5 minute before the event reminder. This did indeed pop up as desired
on Windows. Check those settings I mention. Works fine over here.


Hi Peter,

Thanks for those three replies, pleased to have you on the case!

However, I'm not really clear I understand some of your questions.

"I use iCloud and have Windows 10 synced with my iCloud account as well.
I didn’t notice about the past due popup as most of the time I use a
MacBook. I get past due popups on my Mac all the time."

So you're using a Windows PC and a Mac? I would expect no problems using
iCloud entirely on Apple computers. I guess we need to confine the
discussion to your experience on your Win 10 PC.

--------------------

"You setup a one-time iCloud password for use in Windows 10 for your
email account, which should setup the calendar on Windows 10."

But as mentioned up-thread, I don't use Outlook or other calendars. (My
email and newsgroup reader is Forte's Agent.) But I do *have* Outlook
and GMail accounts, set up years ago. So if it's a possible way to solve
my problem I would willingly experiment with my Outlook account, even
though I never use it to receive or send email.

Could you step me through exactly what you did to create this 'one-time
iCloud password' please. Why would that not affect my *existing* iCloud
password (my 'Apple' password)?

--------------------

"Are you on the latest Windows 10 which I think is now 1803?"

Yes, I updated yesterday to 1803 (17134.48)

--------------------

"Do you get the Windows 10 notifications from Calendar on other
calendar’s, like from Outlook.com?"

I don't use any other calendars. I'm confused enough with *one*!
