[Outlook] Calendar reminders

I have my default calendar reminder set for 5 minutes (set from File, Options, Calendar, Calendar Options), and it is the same for others who send me invites.

So why am I getting a 15 minute advance reminder and how do I change that?

I just checked. This default reminder is set to 15 minutes on my computer. But when creating a new event, the reminder for this event is set to None by default.

What does a new calendar event suggest as reminder on your side?

Calendar reminder duration is selectable in options. On all the computer it is set to 5 minutes, and Outlook is supposed to use the reminder interval set on the computer receiving a meeting invite, but for some reason it isn't happening. This is vanilla Outlook without an Exchange server.

That has never ever been my experience. (I know because I have a colleague who sets up team reminders they suit her and I sync them to my iphone. Nothing like getting a "reminder" 12 hours in advance of a noon deadline )
