I bet your system scheduler events to which you refer are at jobs or =
tasks scheduled in local time and not adjust for time zone changes. =
Outlook appts and the like do vary by time zone as you would expect. =
That you don't get notification unless Outlook is running is specific to =
your configuration. I do on my phone.
I don't care that you don't find your schedule important. What I =
think is wrong of you is to complain about issues you encountered = because
you didn't care enough to do anything even though you knew that = you
should.

I'm not sure what you mean, I have scheduled events in the system =
scheduler,=20
these outlook events are not shown there they are shown only in =
Outlook.=20
Scheduled events in the system scheduler were fine, these are Outlook =
events=20
and I don't receive notifications of them unless Outlook is running? =
If it's=20
a system scheduler why do I not get notification unless Outlook is =
running?=20
Is there some other software that will give me notifications and allow =
me to=20
change the outlook events besides Outlook?
As to preparation, it's simple, this is a non-critical function for =
me.=20
Unlike most MS'ers I don't live and die by a computer scheduler. They =
are=20
about as important to me as the local temperature/weather gadget. Does =
that=20
bother you?

No "function of Outlook" needed to be fixed. What you are updating =
is
your scheduled events. This only applies to events you scheduled =
before you
updated Windows with the knowledge of the change in DST. A =
consequence of
that is the events you scheduled have the wrong time because you =
changed the
meaning of that time. Despite your trying to attribute blame for =
something
you apparently do not understand, Outlook still requires no update. =
This is
why you can update the same scheduled events against the Exchange =
store.
The issue is with the scheduled events not the code that uses them.
As for your last paragraph, I can't guess what you are blabbering =
on
about. You are not making any sense. My question was simple, why did =
you
not attempt any preperation by checking the support site when you were =
well
aware and discussed in advance that the government's DST change had
consequences to software. It seems you answered this partly which is =
that
you didn't care to prepare in which case you deserve what you get.

Call it what you like, it is a function of outlook that needed =

exists. Well no wait, that did occur to me, it just wasn't important
