Windows 10: Mail notification sound doesn't play

Yes you can run them at the same time. About WST I don't know, a lot of the properties info is hidden. Waa it somehow disabled on your machine, and needed to be enabled?

 

not aware of it ever been disabled (not something I ever did)

both are running now, so could be a while before they finish

If something like this fixes the issue it has made my weekend *Smile

 

I am keeping my fingers crossed

might have to wait till the morning to see, going for some tv in 20mins, so will just leave them to run if not finished

 

Ah go watch the Sunday night movie*Smile and check it out during the commercials. Also under Action is Refresh to refresh the scheduler screen, sometimes it's done but you don't see it.

 

Did a refresh and both have finished

Last run results for License Validation are (0x0)
and for wstask are (0x80070002)

not sure if that's an error number, will see how things go

 

I get errors too for wstask sometimes the one you have and sometimes this:



It's nothing to worry about, like most errors in Win10, usually time outs or one time error that fixed itself. It still fixed some problems like tiles not updating and such.

 

going for tv now

will leave my machine on and see what happens

notifications usually die off after leaving machine so will see what happens

will update tomorrow on status

 

Unfortunately this didn't fix it for me

I had notifications after first booting up this morning, but then left my pc for a while and when I came back they had stopped

 

It's a pity. I will also give it a try to run both tasks. You never know. I guess running these tasks could do no harm. *Sad

 

Oh well it was still worth a try. I have been having a problem with a different live tile, lately, but still get notifications. This notification system can be, a bit, hit & miss on some apps. Although the notifications you don't really need or want, always pop out.

 

Harm? No. Any Good? That's another story*chuckle

 

Not sure if this, or a recent upgrade has fixed things

I have left mail and my machine running for about the last 40 hours without a restart, I have received notifications for every email received
This worked mostly before, but over night it would stop working, this morning was the first time I have had the action centre full of new mail notifications

Anyone else seeing an improvement with the notifications?

 

No improvements for me. Notifications arrive now and then. Also in the live tile and in the notification centre, the notifications disappear after a few minutes (this is not the intention). I've tried several things, but nothing helps. I don't use an outlook account (I use a Gmail and an Imap client), but I wonder if only an outlook account would be present in the mail app, if then everything is working fine.
Btw : the mail app isn't updated I guess. Is there a way to check if an app is updated and what the update brings ? I know that in the Store you can click on "check on updates", but is that the way to update an app ? If you don't click on it, are the apps not updated then. I thought these app-updates came automatically ?

 

I've gone from getting random notifications to absolutely none.
They worked intermittently with an MS account but now not at all with a local account.

There isn't even any indication on the tile, I guess the live tile isn't working for Mail either now.

EDIT: okay I just got a 180MB update for Mail & Calendar and it's been working since.
But I had to go back into settings, the update turned notifications off again.
The Live Tile also now works. *Smile

Now that I've posted this it will probably stop working again. *Tongue

 

Latest version 17.6208.42001.0. if you're not using a metered connection and have "update apps automatically" in the Store App>settings turned on they will update so.

Yup, that usually happens to me, but the other way around, I complain or ask for help, as soon as I hit Post Quick Reply-- it fixes itself*Shock
