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.

    Thanks Dean for your thoughts. I'm with you all the way. For me though, I've been using Hotmail/Outlook.com for years and the reminders worked without that application now residing on my desktop as well. Anyway, last year the reminders stopped from the website. Life goes on right?

    So all of a sudden a year or so ago I find the same app on my PC. I reset the few reminder days I require and it works like a charm. I could ALMOST kiss Microsoft for doing something right. Well, of course, come to find out, that only lasted a few months, and then no reminders again.
    I so wish I could ring the peoples necks at Microsoft that are SUPPOSED to fix things instead of looking the other way. Best to ya my unknown friend. :)

    David.. You're talking rubbish! RaihanKR is talking about the new Outlook that replaced Windows Mail. You're giving him advice about Outlook that is within the Microsoft Office package.

    People rely on possitive answers NOT wrong answers. So please get your answer correct before replying.

    Mozilla Thunderbird

    Hi Pat. Thank You. I've been using Mozilla Firefox since Windows 98 SE but when I originally tried Thunderbird as a desktop email client it over powered me with with set up options. I think I'll stay away from this combo. It frightens me. LOL
