  1. Desktop unreadable


    Updated to version 1803 last night and upon restart, the labels for my desktop icons are unreadable, due to the bottom half of the words being chopped off. Functionality not affected...just obnoxious. Also, the time/date/calendar that used to show in the bottom right of my task bar is now missing and I can't find where to get it back.

    :)

    Windows 10 Mail app: many of my unread emails are not appearing when "Unread" option is chosen

    Have been using Windows 10 Mail app on my PC for some time. Suddenly this afternoon I noticed that only 4 of my 20 unread emails appear when I choose the "Unread" option. Why are the other 16 not listed anymore?

    I checked the 16 missing emails and they are all still marked as "unread" so why are they not appearing when I choose the "Unread" filter?

    Have tried troubleshooting and fixes supplied by Microsoft but the problem remains.

    Is this something that others are experiencing? Any suggestions?

  3. email display of unread messages

    Hi,

    There's a possibility that your unread emails could be saved in one of the subfolders in your inbox. For us to isolate this problem, we suggest checking and expanding all subfolders in your inbox and see if there are unread messages. If there are no unread
    messages, then Run the troubleshooter for Windows apps to help us determine and address the problem.

    In case the problem persists, we suggest that you refresh your email notification by turning off/on the email notifications in Windows 10 Mail app. Here's how:

    • Open the Mail app.
    • Click the Settings icon at the bottom of the page, then select
      Options.
    • In the top drop-down menu, select the email account where unread messages show up and scroll down to the Notifications settings.
    • Turn off/on the Notification.
    • Close the Windows 10 Mail app, then relaunch it.

    Let us know how it goes so we can further look into the issue.

    Regards.
