Newbie alarm problem

[Guest Boinng]

I'm new to WM so I might be missing something obvious, but I have a (new) alarm problem...

In the alarm settings, I set an alarm for 12.00 every day - this worked fine for a few days. I then decided to change that alarm (the second in the list of three) to something else. Sure enough, it fired at the new time and with the new description I'd given it, but - just a few hours later - it also fired again at 12.00, with the old description. Nothing I do seems to get rid of this alarm now - for days now it's carried on ringing at 12pm. I even tried changing the entry back to 12 with the old description and unchecking it, but no good.

How do I cure this? Is there some list of old alarm entries somewhere that I'm missing, or is this just a bug?

I had the same problem.

Installed Memaid and it clears any duplicates/dangling/expired or invalid entries in the Windows notification queue. The entries are Windows\clockexe and are shown with a description for each alarm entry.(NOTE do not delete "clocknot.exe)

This did not work for me until I installed Wakeup Tweak from Burr Oak and set wake up idle timeout to 60 seconds.

As I understand it the device checks periodically to see if alarms are still valid and the Wakeup tweak allows more time than the default 15 seconds to complete its job.

Alarms now work fine regardless of how many times they are changed.

Another method though a PITA is to untick all alarm setting under clock and also untick all sound notifications then do a soft reset. This clears all then retick your alarms and sound notifications again !

Thanks for that - I'll have a play with the wakeup tweak and see if it that sorts it. I suppose I should be thankful I didn't set it for 5am or something!

Just thought I'd update this - I actually solved the problem really easily, without using any tweaks in the end - all I had to do was make sure all three alarms in the alarm screen were unticked, do a soft reset, and then just re-tick the one I still wanted. Obviously there's a bug in there somewhere, but it's not too hard to workaround.
