"Next week" should be Monday not Sunday
When selecting "Next Week" on a task, it should be set to Monday of Next week and not Sunday. Or at least this behavior should be configurable.

On Windows, “Next week” in To Do picks up the system settings for next week which could be Sunday or Monday depending on how you’ve set it.
On Android, iOS, Mac and Web “Next week” in To Do starts on Monday.

This should either be it's own setting in ToDo or there should be a "Next work week" button. I want my Windows calendar to start the week on Sunday (because that's how the American calendar starts it's week and I sometimes travel on Sunday) but I want my todo to use next week as Monday (so that it's the first day of the work week)

This seems to be working on Windows 10 (once I found how to get to the system settings for first day of week), but my Mac laptop does Sunday, my Mac desktop does Monday, and my Android phone does Sunday. I've set all those (as best I can find) to have Monday as first day of week.

This should be configurable within the app independent of system settings.
As an American, I'm conditioned to seeing calendars with split weekends: Sundays at the start of the week and Saturdays at the end of the week. However, I only use this app for work tasks, and Monday is the start of my workweek. "Next week" always means Monday for me.
Changing the Windows system settings to make this work for me by making Mondays the start of the week changes the display format for calendars across Windows, which is confusing and not the experience I want.

Terry Larsen: I just updated my android app and I don't have the option to have Next Week on Monday.
Where can I find it?

@Terry Larsen Seems like it has changed on Android recently because now it is showing Sunday... although it has always been Monday before.
How can we change that? Is that configurable or linked to system settings? -

you don't have this.
the work week is not the same as the week.
first day of the week is Sunday, first day of the work week is Monday ( for me ) - this is not supported

Fully agree with Maicon F. Santos:
"The first day of the week in the calendar and the default day for the “next week” are different things. "
Kindly treat this differently.
Admin Terry Larsen's response is not definitive.

Are you working on it since 2018?
The first day of the week in the calendar and the default day for the “next week” are different things. Please do not take another two or three years to allow this possibility in the settings of the app.
Thank you dev team!

Thanks Alex Zwingli! I never would have thought to look in system settings. I agree this should be configurable on a per app basis as need of each user may be different depending on what (s)he is trying to accomplish in each app.

For those of you trying to figure out how this works on Windows 10, To Do uses your system settings. Change the first day of your week there to change the behavior in To Do.
Settings > Time & Region > Region > Change data formats > First day of week
To Do team, this would still be nice to configure within the app, just like dark/light settings can be manually configured or use the system settings. This is important. Just look at the votes and comments. If Microsoft wants to be the leader in areas like this, stop losing the easy battles to Google and others.

This should be as per settings because some countries have Sunday as first day of the week.
Thanks,

I can't believe this original post was from 2017 and it's still not customizable.

This "idea" started in April-2017 and Microsoft has been working on it since February-2018? It's TWO YEARS LATER and you haven't figured out how to sync the FDOW between Windows & mobile app? What is the delay??????

My MS To Do (Win10) acts stranger: some tasks suggest Sunday as "Next Week", and some tasks suggest Monday. Why? How?
