Windows 10: Windows 10 banner notifications not appearing.

Recently I've noticed I haven't been seeing notifications. I checked the action center and saw notifications from minutes ago that I haven't seen. I set all apps to show banner notifications in settings and nothing changed. Thanks in advance!

Windows 10 Update Notification Banner During Fullscreen Windowed Mode Games

In Windows 10, action center is where to find your app notifications, as well as quick actions, which give you quick access to commonly used settings and apps. Change your action center settings at any time from the Settings app.

• Select the Start 
  button, and then select the Settings 
  app.
• FOLLOW STEP 4.1 BELOW
• Go to System >
  Notifications & actions.
• Do any of the following:
  • Turn notifications, banners, and sounds on or off for some or all notification senders.
    
  • Choose whether to see notifications on the lock screen.
    
  • Choose whether to see notifications when you're duplicating your screen.
    
  • Choose the quick actions you'll see in action center.
    
  • Turn tips, tricks, and suggestions about Windows on or off.
    

 

Mail sounds required, but not notification banners

Where do these settings come from? I don't have the same. 2 possible locations. Within "system", then "notifications and actions". But the options there are:

--------------------------------------------------------------

"get notifications from apps and other senders"

"show notifications on the lock screen"

"show reminders and incoming VoIP calls on the lock screen"

"hide notifications when I'm duplicating my screen"

"show me the windows welcome experience after updates and occasionally when I sign in to highlight what's new and suggested"

Get tips, tricks, and suggestions as you use windows"

Then below that there is:

Autoplay

Banners, sounds

Cortana

Banners, sounds

Mail

Banners, sounds

Security and maintenance

Banners, sounds

Settings

Banners, sounds

xbox

off

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

In the Mail notification settings there is:

-----------------------------------------------------------------

Apply to all accounts checkbox (it's checked).

Below that there is:

Show notifications in the action centre.

Then

Show a notification banner

Play a sound

Show notifications for folders pinned to start.

---------------------------------------------------------

So it seems to me that what I want is for the "show a notification banner" to be *unchecked*, and "play a sound" to be *checked*.

However, if the "show a notification banner" is unchecked, then "play a sound" is greyed out. In other words it doesn't appear to be the case that I can have an email sound alert without getting popups/banners obscuring my screen.

 

Mail Notification Banners not showing

I want this feature in Windows 10 Mail. I followed the steps you mentioned. App Notifications are enabled and mail is showing in apps to show notifications but still I don't get a banner notification.
