I cannot get the new Outlook to tell me when events are about to start either, I have tried the solution in this thread but both were already selected and still it is not working.

I tried Jim A's solution which is the same as what was suggested by Faery Fu and that didn't solve the problem.

I am having the same issue and all notifications both in Outlook and system settings are selected. I like the look and design on the new Outlook desktop app, but I don't like missing meetings!

Strangely nothing works for me. Desktop notifications - check, Windows setting setting desktop notification - check (win 10.0.19045). Must be a bug in the new Outlook. Emails pops up, but calendar events not so much. Have missed a few meetings already (luckily no customer meetings), so I better revert to the classic until it's fixed.

            I hope that you will be able to enable the configuration after above configuration.

            Same issue here on client version 20230818006.14. Windows notifications settings are enabled. My colleague has client version 20230825006.03 where notifications for meetings do work. So it seems like it is fixed in the latest update. How can I update to the latest version? Winget can't find upgrades for the package and a reinstall does not work.

            I'm using 1.2023.1114.100 I get a notification for the first event that day. So notifications work, but. ONLY the first one, and the first time. Events after that won't show the toast notification, and even if I click 'remind me 10 minutes before' in the toast, no second toast will show.

            Hi, I don’t know if it can help people, but my problem was the same as described, no notification appears from my calendar. Here is the solution : 1 - 2 - 3 - The problem was that the notification style set for the calendar event was set to "None". Just switch to "Reminder" or "Office" and everything will be OK :)

            I looked at Jim A's advice - when I clicked the REMINDER icon then did a test it worked! THe default shows a reminder in bottom right corner of desktop then automatically disappeaars. So if you're not looking at it when it appears. Clicking REMINDER it pops-up in a dialog box like the old Outlook. YAY.

            Already had those settings in place for the newest version of Outlook. Still not receiving 15 min reminders or any type of alert for meetings.

            Submitted feedback: it's less than ideal that a cut over to the preview turned off calendar notifications, default should be the old outlook's default. Fix: Settings cog -> General -> Notifications -> Calendar: Notifications is "on", but expand down to see the notification style is set to "none" vs. reminder as in the existing version of outlook.

            I have the same problem as Ben. I have checked both the new Outlook settings, and Windows notification settings and permissions, following the guides provided by Microsoft bulletin boards (this same problem has appeared in numerous MSFT boards. There doesn't appear to be anything wrong with my setup. Not only do I no longer see the popup reminder window, but the Outlook system tray icon no longer lights up.
