Whilst using Windows 10 Pro, I am receiving notifications in the notification centre when I have received a new email in Outlook. However, when I click the email in the notification centre it does not open the email. 

Please can you help sort this issue. Followed all other forums etc. and these have not helped solve my issue.

    It seems this works for most but it may be all related to versions of Outlook etc. Sorry could not help but maybe this will help target the "slow" Microsoft support ......maybe

    Not sure why Microsoft have not supplied answer in this thread, but copied from another is answer. It works. 

    I used zx3junglist answer in a different way.  I found a regedit entry for:

    Computer\HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\AppUserModelId\Microsoft.Office.OUTLOOK.EXE.15

    But I am using Outlook 2016 (should be OUTLOOK.EXE.16, not 15)

    I renamed Computer\HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\AppUserModelId\Microsoft.Office.OUTLOOK.EXE.15

    to 

    Computer\HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\AppUserModelId\Microsoft.Office.OUTLOOK.EXE.16

    and popups work.  When I click the popup, I get the email!  

    I hope this helps some!

    OMG!!!!!  It worked!!!! Thank you Thank you Thank you!!!!! It's been a loooooong 4 months!!! Microsoft support is extremely deficient, just horrible and pointless and that's putting it very very lightly, but these forums are gold!!! Thanks!!!!

    Thanks for the suggestion, I made the edit and it didn't make a difference.

    in summary I changed

    Computer\HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\AppUserModelId\Microsoft.Office.OUTLOOK.EXE.15

    to 

    Computer\HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\AppUserModelId\Microsoft.Office.OUTLOOK.EXE.16

    On the off chance, I also tried

    Computer\HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\AppUserModelId\Microsoft.Office.OUTLOOK.EXE.19  But that also didn't work.

    Thanks, it works as well for my Outlook 2019.

    It seems both Outlook 2016 and Outlook 2019 use the same version number "OUTLOOK.EXE.16".
