What notification are you missing?
</div>


<div>
Run in command line:<br />
<b>sfc /scannow</b>
</div>


<div>
You can try:<br />
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software<wbr />\Microsoft<wbr />\Windows\C<wbr />urrentVers<wbr />ion\PushNo<wbr />tification<wbr />s<br />
Set ToastEnabled to 1.
</div>


<div>
desktop alert for my outlook email
</div>


<div>
sfc/scannow says I need to be the administrator. I am the administrator??
</div>


<div>
Probably you are not. Right-click on cmd.exe while holding Shift key. Choose Run As Different User and enter high level admin credentials (domain admin or local admin).

In mail app go to settings (gear symbol in lower left part of the screen). On the right side settings will appear. Go to options and on the bottom and under notifications which were on by default I had to check 'show notification banner'.<br />
<br />
Go to Apps and Features -&gt; Find Mail app -&gt; Advanced Options -&gt; Reset<br />
<br />
From another discussion:<br />

<blockquote>
I had the same problem and here's what worked for me: in (Settings --&gt; Privacy --&gt; Background Apps) enable the calendar app to run in the background. I think that the calendar and mail apps are one of the same.

Make sure your system is up to date: Settings -&gt; Update and security -&gt; Windows Update -&gt; Check for Updates<br />

Download Media Creation Tool: <a href="https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10" rel="ugc">https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10</a><br />
While Windows 10 is running, download this tool and select Run not Save and select Keep Everything.

does the reset cause me to lose any of my emails or personal folders in outlook? also there is an update 1709 &nbsp;version that I can not download because I was told it needs 100GB of storage space in the C Drive which I do not have that much space . It was working before without the update! what does the media creation tool do?
</div>


<div>
Before doing anything -&gt; open CMD -&gt; <b>shutdown -r -t 1</b><br />
This will reboot your computer properly.<br />
<br />
Media Creation Tool = non-destructive OS repair<br />
Email Reset - you can export your emails and folders and import them back later
</div>


<div>
so does that mean I will lose all my emails and folders?
</div>


<div>
Yes. Unless you make a backup.
</div>


<div>
do you think that the media creation tool would be sufficient to fix the problem without the email reset? I can not afford to lose my emails and folders and I do not know how to back them up either.

No, it will not affect anything.

Windows OS

A desktop computer is a personal computer designed for use at a single location due to its size and power requirements, usually by one person. The most common configuration has a case that houses the power supply, motherboard, disk storage (usually one or more hard disk drives and optical disc drives); a keyboard and mouse for input; and computer monitor and printer for output. The case may be oriented horizontally and placed atop a desk or vertically and placed underneath or beside a desk.
