Windows 10: Emails not showing in Mail unless in view.

A while back I had this same issue, which I was only able to fix by removing accounts, uninstalling, rebooting and setting Mail up all over again.

It has happened again today. Now when a new email comes in, Mail will not show a notification or alert me at all until I click Mail to show the window. This is rather annoying and going through all that removing/uninstalling is more trouble than worth keeping the program.

My question is... has anyone else had this issue and did you fix it another way?
