Windows 10: Windows 10 Mail notification: Want sound only!

In Windows 10 Mail, is there a way to just have a sound notification without seeing a banner? In "Notifications," If I uncheck the visible banner, it greys out the sound notification box. It seems to only allow both banner & sound or banner only. I want sound only!

Windows 10 Sound Notification for Live Mail

Hi Robert,



Thank you for your response.



We would like to know if you are getting sound notification with other apps on your computer.



I suggest you to check if the Windows Live Mail is added in the “show notification for these app” list on your Windows 10 computer. You may find “show notification for these app” list in the settings for notification.

Reply us with the information to assist you further. If you need further assistance, get back to us. We will be glad to assist you.

Thank you.

 

Windows 10 - Outlook 2016 New mail notification sound

The link points to an article that proposes the same steps that the previous response also suggests. As I already responded, I already did all this. It has no effect.

However, meanwhile I have found the cause of the problem Windows 10 has a setting to control if it should "get notifications from these senders". This setting was set to on for "Outlook 2016". As long as this setting is on, Windows 10 seems to override
whatever settings Outlook has (including the "new mail notification" sound), "eat" the notification and always play its own Windows notification sound.

Turn off the "Outlook 2016" in the Windows notifications from these senders settings, and the "New mail notification" sound will be played as expected.

 

(SOLVED/CLOSED)looking for help with Android phone CONSTANT wireless signal notification

Yeah, thats not a solution she is interested in......I've suggested that course of action. Thanks though.

Just to clarify, I feel that there MUST be a step, or series of steps to turn off JUST the wireless notification sound. Thats what Im driving @ here.
