using Office 2016 & Outlook on Surface Pro3 (win 8.1) for calendar and email

If I add an appoint and have no reminder using Office 2016 on my SP3 the syncing is adding a reminder with what seems to be random reminder intervals. Usually it is 18hrs before the event, sometimes 15 mins. So I have been getting reminders in the middle of the night on my phone!

Only seems to happen on new ones with no reminder set, that is, if you edit an existing to a new date then no reminder stays.

My default setting is 'no reminder' for a new appointment/event.

It seems this was a bug in Office back in 2012/13 and had returned?

this issue has been posted in the MS community forums for quite a while and is still unresolved
