Reminders in Outlook
15 minutes before a meeting starts reminders will appear (unless you have disabled this) while you work on other things. This can really help you avoid missing meetings.
Recently however I noticed that when I ignore reminders and don’t dismiss them that the reminder window would not appear anymore.
So in my case I ignored a meeting 38 minutes ago and in my reminder window this appears as 38 minutes overdue. My test alert meeting will now appear in this reminder window however I will never see it as that little popup appears behind other windows.
A reminder window behind other windows is of course quite useless.
So in this post the easy way to fix this.

In your Outlook you will have to go to
File -> Options and you will see the following settings available to you. Just select the Advanced option and you will be close to fixing the issue.
