Windows 10: Not receiving Windows 10 calendar app notifications

I am no longer receiving calendar app notifications and can't figure out why I am not. Under Windows system settings notifications and actions, Calendar, Mail and Cortana all are turned on. I am receiving notifications from my Windows 10 mail app. When I click on the settings gear within the mail application itself, I see a notifications section in settings list that appears, but when I click on the sections gear within the calendar app itself, I do not have a notifications section in the settings list. Thanks in advance for your thoughts on how I can fix this problem.

Hello,

To help you receive the notifications for your Calendar app, kindly setup your account through the Windows Mail app as well; then check if the notifications push through. Also, kindly set the Calendar app as a default program by simply following the steps below.

• Right-click on the Start icon.
• Click Control Panel; then select Programs.
• Choose Set Default Programs; then select Calendar.
  
• Click Set this program as default.

Observe if your Calendar notifications show.

Mail app not receiving notifications

Hi Dave,

It seems that the Mail app is not running in the background. To show the app in the "Notifications & Actions" settings page, we suggest running it in the background. To do so, please follow the steps below:

• Press Windows key + i to open Settings, then select
  Privacy.
  
• In the left pane, select Background apps.
• Under Let apps run in the background, toggle the switch to turn on or off the background apps.
  
• Once you're done, you may now turn on the Mail app in the "Notifications & Actions" settings page to get notifications.
  

Feel free to post back with the result for further assistance.
