| Mar 18 at 18:22 | comment | added | harrymc | This is a well-known problem with Outlook, in that it has to be running all the time, but which didn't exist with the old apps. If you can't live with it running minimized all the time, you need to look for a third-party replacement. | |
| Mar 18 at 17:00 | comment | added | Simon Verbeke | @harrymc I reapplied all notification settings to be extra sure. It seems that email notifications are now not happening anymore (as intended!), but calendar notifications are still only happening while the Outlook app is open. | |
| Mar 18 at 14:57 | comment | added | harrymc | In Outlook settings, General section, click Notifications in the sub menu. Is "Send me desktop notifications" turned on, and "Notification Style" is not set to "None"? | |
| Mar 18 at 11:08 | comment | added | Simon Verbeke | @harrymc I don't necessarily need the old Calendar app (though that would be nice too). But I would like notifications to work properly in the "new" and "better" app :) I guess I'm mainly trying to figure out if this is a known problem, with workarounds/fixes, or whether I've encountered a new bug. It is however very hard to google, considering that there are now at least 4 products with the Outlook branding. | |

| Mar 18 at 10:40 | comment | added | Simon Verbeke | @harrymc I never used the old Outlook. I used the "Mail and Calendar" app, and only for the calendar. That one was built into Windows 10 at some point, but is now entirely deprecated. Trying to launch it, launches Outlook (new) instead. | |
