Quiet hours is an application that allows Cortana to control your phone calls or notifications

What we are interested in is "Turn on when I have a calendar event marked busy"
.
What this application is going to do is it is going to connect to your calendar and react to the information you input into your calendar. If you have marked a particular day or time as Busy, then Cortana will initiate quiet hours during that time or day. This will pause all your calls, notifications and other information allowing you to be free and to engage with your situation without disturbance. Press the check box to turn it on.
