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.

Locked Question. This question was migrated from the Microsoft Support Community. You can vote on whether it's helpful, but you can't add comments or replies or follow the question.
Has anybody found a definite solution for the broken Outlook notifications? Mine worked for about a month and suddenly stopped. Has Microsoft had anything to say about this as of 9/22/24?
I just downloaded a third party email app that has a working notification function for new messages and deleted Oulook. Problem solved.
At this point the whole Outlook notification thing has me fatigued. Outlook notification problems have been a known issue for over a year and yet it still isn't fixed.
I recently did a CLEAN install of Windows 11 24H2 which of course downloaded the most recent addition of Outlook (New).
Now, not only do I not get Calander notifications from Outlook after its CLOSED, but Outlook no longer appears under System...Notifications
I did a Repair of the Outlook (new) App but nothing was fixed.
Hi Kevin. I guess this is another example of Microsoft's lack of concern for an important app within windows .... OK, it's broken. Let's move on to something else attitude. BTW, for me anyway, Outlook.com doesn't work any better. I realize they are tied together.
Agree entirely, really sick and tired of Microsoft's arrogance, not only do they replace a perfectly working mail app (windows mail) with this inept attempt but then they try to justify it by pointing out it works better with the (microsoft of course) relevant associated apps.
Well it must have slipped their mind that users that have no need of 365 do not appreciate the forced replacement of an app that is more than adequate for the majority and more importantly works flawlessly.
