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.

    Thank you for your response RaihanKR.

    Enabling Desktop Notifications

    1. Go to Outlook.com and click the Settings (gear) icon on the top right corner.
    2. Click View all outlook Settings, go to General > Notifications and enable Send me desktop notifications.
    3. In Desktop notifications, you can choose either or both For Messages and For Events.
    4. You should see below pop-up if the permissions are not already enabled for this website on this browser before. Choose Allow and you should start receiving the notifications.
    5. Post enabling there will be a success notification under the system tray as shown below.
