I use Windows 7 and Office 2013. My reminders do not pop up with a box when they go off, only a sound and it seems to stay stacked in the task bar behind the Outlook app itself. I keep my reminders open (minimized) at the bottom of the screen however they don't pop back up into view when it is time for a new appointment to take place. If I am away from my desk and don't hear the bell, I am none the wiser a new appointment is starting. My colleague is on Windows 8.1 and uses Office 2013 and hers opens and pops up in her face even when she is working in Excel.

How can I fix this, it is causing havoc for me! Is there a simple setting somewhere that I may just have overlooked?

Thank you!

If it doesn't work, please start Outlook in safe mode to confirm whether there is any third-party add-ins caused this issue. If the issue persists, I suggest we can ask question in Outlook forum for more help:
