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. Terry, East Grinstead, UK 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. Terry, East Grinstead, UK 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. I use both a Windows 10 PC and a MacBook. I have an iPad Pro and an iPhone 7 Plus. On that iPhone and on the Mac I used Fantastical 2 which interfaces with Apple's Calendar and Reminders. If I create a calendar event and I ask that event to popup a message 5 minutes before the event it will do so on my Windows 10 PC as well as my Mac. What's running on the Windows 10 PC? I am using the built in Mail app that came with Windows 10. I am not using Outlook. There are settings you should check in two places: 1. All Settings System Notifications & Actions: In there you will see a heading labeled as follows: Get Notifications from these senders. There will be a lot of these. Look for Calendar and make sure it is set to ON. 2. Open your calendar and select: Settings Manage Accounts iCloud Options for Syncing your content. And make sure you have a schedule set to sync your calendar. I use every 15 minutes. -------------------- "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. You need to setup the Windows 10 calendar with iCloud so that the iCloud events and such will be feed into Windows 10. Here is how to do that: 1. Go to iCloud.com 2. Log in, which might require 2-factor authentication 3. Choose the Settings icon 4. Select Manage ID 5. Select Generate App-Specific Passwords. 6. Fill in a reminder name, like "My Windows PC" A password will be created. Copy that password. 7. In windows 10, go to the mail app. 8. Choose Accounts Manage Accounts Add Account 9. Choose iCloud 10. Type in your name, your iCloud email address and then paste in that app-specific password you created in step 6. This will create an email / calendar / contacts sync between iCloud on Windows 10 without needing Outlook. 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)? -------------------- See above. "Are you on the latest Windows 10 which I think is now 1803?" Yes, I updated yesterday to 1803 (17134.48) Perfect! -------------------- "Do you get the Windows 10 notifications from Calendar on other calendar’s, like from Outlook.com?" I have not tried that. I just use iCloud if I am going to use the web, since iCloud is my mail. I don't use any other calendars. I'm confused enough with *one*! Yeah I hear ya. I ended up using iCloud as my Calendar, Notes, Contacts, etc because I mostly use the Mac. I use both but if I had to pick ONE computer it would be the Mac.
