Cortana and automatic silencing during appointments

[Steve Thackery]

Just installed 10586.36 after a break from W10M. My phone is a Lumia 1520.

How do I configure Cortana to automatically make the phone silent during appointments in my diary? I'm sure I could do this with an earlier build, but I'm embarrassed because I can't remember how I did it, or see how to do it with this build.

Could someone help? Many thanks.

I wondered if this might be some kind of bug that a Reset would fix. I had to do a Reset for another reason, but nothing has changed - the feature Cortana had for automatically silencing the phone during calendar appointments seems to have disappeared.

Am I right in thinking it definitely would do this at one time?

It wasn't there before .36 either, this seems to have been left out of W10M just like tons of other features. It might come back eventually like linked inboxes did. There are quite a few complaints about this in Windows Feedback, go upvote them and maybe it'll come soon™.

Thanks, casab1anca.

Yes, I've found it. It definitely existed on WP8.1. I've found a screenshot (attached).

This is such a fundamentally important feature to me that I'm going to revert to WP8.1.
