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.

    Yo Microsoft... fix this. Yesterday.

    You should be able to narrow down the cause by having a computer incrementally install all the Windows Update KBs and checking the functinoality after each update. This could narrow it down to a single KB that caused the issue. A dev could probably solve this issue in a few hours or even minutes, if you actually assigned this out...

    Interesting people!  I just got an email, notification popped up in the lower right corner.  I clicked it, the outlook icon in task bar started blinking, I clicked on it, and there was another window with the email in it; however, the window only "poped up" when I clicked on it via the task bar.......

    so its like a half functioning notification now?

    I get exactly this behaviour too.

    I get this too, but only sometimes.  Half the time when I click the email, it opens in the foreground, and the other half of the time, it opens in the background.
