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.

    Hi Philip. By chance, since the forced Outlook is severely flawed, can you recommend a free, easy to use calendar that is compatible with either Windows 10 or 11 ... that will give you desktop notifications?

    Thanks so much in advance.

    Hi Major Buzz,

    Not used myself yet but google calendar has the ability to give notifications on phone, pc or by email, for one time or all day events with sound and even vibration on phone. Standard app is free to use With a Gmail account.

    Reviews I've seen give 4.8 out of 5 so it sounds a better choice than the 'broken' outlook affair.
