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.

    Ditto on all counts, problem is annoying and started a few weeks ago presumably with an Office/Outlook SW update.

    In my case, clicking the notification in the notification center does not open the message, it just clears it from the list.

    The mail will not open from the notification center, you need to open MS Outlook to view

    I have a user with the same issue as described by Lewis (OP)

    I turned the notification on in my system had her send me an email, got the alert, and clicked it and it invoked Outlook and opened the message.

    TO say you cant open it from the notification center is untrue.  Typically if you click the notification it will launch whatever your default mail handler (in this case probably Outlook, but I dont want to assume) and show the full email.

    I wish I had a resolution for it, I am still working on one, but wanted to clarify that if you click the Notification from the center, there is a setting that opens the message.
