  1. Notifications in tray and Mail app malfunctioning since recent update


    Hi, ever since a recent update my system notification button in the tray has been malfunctioning. They seem to accumulate there - I see the little blue circle with a number to indicate how many notifications there should be - but when I click to see the notifications from the Windows system flyout it tells me "No new notifications". Upon a reboot, I then see the notifications as normal and the taskbar notifications button behaves normally for a while. But after about an hour or so (I'd estimate) the same problem recurs.

    Thanks.

    :)

    Notifications in tray and Mail app malfunctioning since recent update

    Hi, ever since a recent update my system notification button in the tray has been malfunctioning. They seem to accumulate there - I see the little blue circle with a number to indicate how many notifications there should be - but when I click to see the
    notifications from the Windows system flyout it tells me "No new notifications". Upon a reboot, I then see the notifications as normal and the taskbar notifications button behaves normally for a while. But after about an hour or so (I'd estimate) the same
    problem recurs.

    Incidentally, the Mail app is doing something similar. I have mine pinned to the taskbar and it will display X number of unread emails falsely - like it's not refreshing properly - that is, until you reboot. Like the above problem, it behaves for a while
    but before long starts to malfunction again.

    I figured I should let you know. This is an older model Alienware 17. Windows 10 (version 1803 with all updates installed as of the date of this posting). It's got an i7 (2.5GHz) and 16 GB of ram. I decided to post this as a discussion, apologies if it would
    have been better to post as a question. Thanks.

    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.

    Creator Update & Windows 10 Mail App Problem

    Hi Barry,

    It seems that the settings might have changed after the Creators update was installed. We suggest that you check the settings in Notifications & actions. To do that, follow these steps:

    • Go to Settings and then System.
    • Click on Notifications & actions.
    • Under Show notification from these apps, turn On the Banner, Sounds for the Mail app.
    You may also try to remove your email account and re-add it in the mail app.

    If the issue still persists, we suggest that you run the Window app troubleshooter to scan and fix problems with the app. To run the troubleshooter, click on this

    link
    .

    Feel free to post back and update us with the results after performing the suggested steps.

    Regards.
