A Task's Start Time Cannot Be Changed

This article was previously published under Q130427

The start time for a task is set to 12:00 A.M. (midnight) on the start date of the task. This is set by default and cannot be changed.

The start time only affects a task when you set a reminder for that task. You can set a reminder to pop up a specific number of hours or a specific number of minutes before the start time of the task. Because the start time of a task is always 12:00 A.M., setting a reminder for 3 hours before start time causes the reminder to be displayed at 9:00 P.M.
