Not receiving desktop notifications in 'New Outlook'

I have enabled desktop notifications in the New Outlook app. But once I close the app, I don't receive notifications from the app. I have also enabled desktop notifications in the windows settings too. When I open the app, I get notifications of new emails being sent but once I close the app, I don't receive notifications anymore. It is extremely annoying and I have faced this same issue on another device with the same 'New Outlook'. I have faced this for a long time.

I use a Surface Laptop Go with 8GB RAM and 
a 10th gen Intel Core i5 with 256 GB storage.  
This laptop runs Windows 11 Pro.It was upgarded for Windows 10 Pro recently.

    justin bob,

    I did the steps you gave me.

    First, The only Outlook listed in step #1 is dated 11/12/2022. That is the date I bought this new laptop. I do not see a newer outlook. I selected or copied it and continued, with step #3 and at restart, the old outlook came up.

    Where do I find NEW Outlook?

    Hi, bro, I got the solution. Please follow the instructions below

    1. open the file location C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs.
    2. find the shortcut of "outlook" and copy it.
    3. press the Windows + R, type: shell:startup.
    4. paste the Outlook shortcut from the second step.
    5. restart the computer, and there you go.

    The new Outlook will start up automatically when you start the computer, remember to minimize the window when it opens, and enable the 'Hide when minimized' function in the system tray.

    Best wishes
