This post explains how you can automatically dismiss reminders for Outlook past events in Microsoft 365.

## Introduction

One of the most annoying things in Outlook, essentially when we have a busy schedule, is that we have to manually dismiss all reminders for past events since Outlook doesn’t do this by default. In this post, I will explain how easily you can automatically dismiss reminders from past events and avoid having to dismiss them manually.

## How-To Steps

All you have to do is to follow the following steps:

1. Open Outlook for Windows 10
2. Go to File >Options > Advanced
3. In the “Reminders” section, check the “Automatically dismiss reminders for past calender events” option

4. Click OK to save your changes

And that’s it! Once you check this option, all past events in your calendar will be automatically dismissed!
