serious synchronization issue with Microsoft To Do since approximately 16 August 2026
Hello, I have been experiencing a serious synchronization issue with Microsoft To Do since approximately 16 August 2026. My tasks are no longer synchronizing correctly across my devices. More importantly, the problem also occurs on Microsoft To Do Web. When I access To Do through my browser, the page remains indefinitely stuck on “We are getting your task lists ready” (“Nous préparons votre liste de tâches…”), and my task lists never load. The issue has therefore persisted for more than three weeks and does not appear to be limited to a particular device or installation. I understand that Microsoft To Do tasks are stored in Exchange Online. Could you please check whether there is an issue with the To Do / Exchange Online data associated with my account, or a server-side synchronization problem? I have deliberately not signed out, reset or reinstalled Microsoft To Do on the device where my most recent tasks are still visible, as I am concerned that locally stored unsynchronized tasks could be lost. I can provide a screenshot showing To Do Web permanently stuck on “We are getting your task lists ready”. Session ID / User ID: [paste here] Could you please escalate this to the appropriate Microsoft To Do / Exchange Online technical team if necessary? Thank you.Feature Request : Delete multiple steps at once
Basically what the title says Sometimes I want to keep a recurring task going such as 'groceries' There's 20+ items in the steps. Would be nice to be able to delete more than one at a time, and also DISABLE the 'WARNING YOU ARE ABOUT TO PERMANENTLY DELETE THIS STEP' message Thanks! Love the app
Microsoft To Do Online version will not show All - it goes to blank screen
I am using Microsoft Edge on Windows 10 - when I use the online To Do, if I click on All, the page goes blank and freezes. This was working fine yesterday. My other Smart Groups work fine. On the desktop version, I can see everything under All (but the app crashes for a different reason - Shared Files) : ) I have closed browser, on and off VPN, closed outlook and done syncs. Any other ideas? Thanks braintrust!
To Do SUCKS
I don't know who--or what team--designed To Do, but it is absolutely horrendous and is no replacement for Outlook Tasks, which gave you a FULL SCREEN to make notes, and it was easy to do (not pun intended) anything, but To Do opens a tiny window in the middle of the screen that CANNOT be resized, so you have a tiny, tiny pane on the right-hand side of this tiny screen to scroll up and down reading notes. It's beyond horrible. PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE can someone at Microsoft go back to the drawing boards and make an app that fills the whole screen, can be resized, and is easy to use?!
Dragging Task onto Outlook Calendar in Web does keep Category (color) (or notes or steps)
So categories could be useful. They have been added now to both the online ToDo app and Outlook Web Calendar. A great feature is in Outlook Calendar (web), you can choose from the top right the a ToDo list side menu and drag a task onto the calendar to make a quick 1/2 hour block and move it around. And you could color code this with categories. HOWEVER, they are not connected. If I choose a category (e.g. Purple) in ToDo and then drag onto the calendar the event does not have a category. I can add it AGAIN if I want or add a different one. (1) I noticed this drag and drop is one-way and any changes in the calendar are not reflected back onto the original task. Fine, you can fix that later, but (2) when I drag the task onto the calendar, why can't the category at least go with it? (3) I noticed the notes and steps don't translate either, but please, the category could be so useful.To-do List, Requesting Next Steps features be added
Microsoft, please consider improving your application to make it usable for your customers. It is lacking so many features that would be simple updates yet provide such a great benefit to the users. Next Steps to be added so that the steps can be viewed from the main view; if not shown by default, at least allow an expand option for users who actually work from the steps. Record a completion date for the steps that have been completed. This would be a great reference tool and should be as simple as populating the date the bubble is clicked for the individual step.
Steps should show up on a TO DO list!
I love the functionality of using "steps" within a task in "TO DO." However, when observing my tasks on my task list, I think it would be helpful to be able to see the steps underneath the task. The step list wouldn't need to be as pronounced as individual tasks. They could show up small... like the "1 of 3" steps completed notation shows up under the task... But being able to see the steps from the task list would be FANTASTIC.... Not to get picky, but it would be cool to be able to toggle the steps view on and off for a given task. (So maybe it shows up as a status (1 of 3 steps completed) but you could hit a drop down arrow that lets you see the list. Being able to check them off from that view would also be preferable. One last thought. Steps wouldn't necessarily have to disappear from the view (underneath the task) when they are completed... It would actually be helpful for them to remain listed (just like they do when you "expand a task" in case you complete steps in a different order. What I'm asking for is already present. The list of steps is visible when you click on a task. I just think it would be helpful if those steps could be visible ON the task list.
