This tip is for Windows 10 and Windows 11<\/span><\/p>\n If you haven’t tried the Windows Calendar app, you’re missing an excellent app that can help keep your life organized. You can even use the Windows Calendar app with your Google (Gmail) account, your Yahoo account, your Apple (iCloud) account, or your Microsoft account (Hotmail, Outlook.com, Live.com, MSN, etc).<\/span><\/p>\n To get started open the Windows Calendar App, by typing CALENDAR in the taskbar search and press Enter when you see “Calendar app” appear.<\/span><\/p>\n When the Calendar app opens you’ll see the splash screen like the one directly below. Click “+ Add Account”.<\/span><\/p>\n On the next screen, you can choose the account you’d like to add. The first one listed will be the account you use to sign into Windows, but you can use any Gmail, Yahoo, or Apple (iCloud) account you choose.<\/span><\/p>\n Once you set up your Calendar you see it has certain holidays or other important dates already noted – based on your location. Since I’m in the USA, April is the big kahuna for taxes. And I’m relieved to find out I have until the 18th to cough up some dough for Uncle Sam.<\/span><\/p>\n If you prefer a dark background, you can personalize your Windows calendar to change the app colors.<\/span><\/p>\n To add an event to your calendar just click on the date for which you want to add an event, If it’s not an all-day event – like a holiday, birthday, reminder, etc. – uncheck the “All day” box, type in the event name and select the time(s) from the dropdown menu.<\/span><\/p>\n You can even add notes if you are the details-oriented, persnickety type.<\/span><\/p>\n When entering an event, appointment, or note on the calendar, don’t forget to tell the calendar how long before the event you want to be reminded of an upcoming event.\u00a0 And remember – once the note is on your calendar you can click on it to see all the details.<\/span><\/p>\n You can add as many accounts as you want and switch between them. You can personalize the calendar colors and styles and even add a background – if that’s your kind of thing.<\/span><\/p>\n And when you get done configuring your calendar and adding events and reminders to it, don’t forget to right-click the Calendar icon in your taskbar and choose “Pin to taskbar”. Once you add the calendar’s icon to the taskbar you’ll have instant access to your own personalized calendar with all the important reminders, events, holidays, notes, appointments, and whatever else you added to it.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Have You Tried the Windows Calendar App?
