Windows 10 makes the process of reminding users about their important appointments dead simple by using the built-in app Sticky Notes for this task. Sticky Notes in Windows 10 helps eliminate the need of pinning the post-it notes on a bulletin board. Instead, you can now create them on your Desktop and integrate it with Cortana to enable you to add these reminders to your calendar.
Let us in this post, see how to create Cortana Reminders with Windows 10 Sticky Notes.

Once done, Cortana will become visible, displaying the reminder details. If you think details entered are correct, hit ‘Add Reminder’ button.
When the action is confirmed, Cortana will instantly pop up displaying your reminder details. Edit the time and date, if required and then tap the Remind button.
Now, when you hit the ‘Remind’ button an overlapping box will appear on your screen showing 3 options – Hour, minute and meridian. Every option bears drop down menu to allow you adjust the time.
