I want to add some additions.

Last 2 issues between iOS Reminders and Outlook Tasks — OneDrive (live.com)
I tested this issues on several Microsoft accounts and on two Outlook 2019 and 2021 - this error is present everywhere. The same result in safe mode - tasks with a deadline of today and a reminder(!) today disappear.
BUT, I have some important additions! "Disappearing Tasks" effect only occur when the creation is done from the "reminder app" (the standard app for tasks on iOS Apple build “Reminders”)! If I make tasks in Microsoft To Do on iOS - this bug is not present in Outlook on Windows. Which means that there is some incorrect synchronization between Outlook Tasks and iOS Reminders. It looks like this issue is related to that issue what I already pointed in first message of this topic! I think this additions can help developers to fix these bugs
