No matter how I set up a reoccurring task, once I complete it, it never pops up again when it should reoccur. It doesn't matter if it is a daily, weekly, or monthly reoccurrence. It never shows up again once I complete it.

    Dear John_91988

    Thanks for raising your concerns in Microsoft Community.

    I understand that you are having problems with the recurrence feature in Microsoft To Do. I understand how you feel and this is indeed a troubling problem.

    I tested the Microsoft To Do app on several computers and found that this problem only occurred in the English language. When I set the computer system language to another language, the tasks in the list can automatically generate tasks for the next day.

    However, when the system language is English, after completing the tasks for the current day, the tasks for the next day cannot be automatically generated.

    We tested the web version of Microsoft To Do and found that the problem occurred intermittently when the browser language was English. When the browser language was other languages ​​(German in the picture), the repeat function was normal.

    Therefore, we speculate that this is a problem that occurs only when the display language is English.

    During the test, we also found that when you create a task directly in the [Tasks] option, the repeat function is normal, but this problem occurs in the list you create yourself.

    Therefore, we recommend that you submit it in the Microsoft To Do feedback platform to let the development team know about this problem so that it can be fixed later.

    At the same time, as an alternative, we recommend that you try using the Microsoft To Do web version on your browser, or create a task that needs to be repeated in [Tasks]. If you can use other languages, you can also switch the language of your computer or browser to change the display language of the Microsoft To Do app.

    I hope this is helpful to you and don't hesitate to ask any questions. I look forward to hearing from you and will continue to assist you.

    Best Regards,
