Hello,
There are only a few apps that are configurable to run in the background. Mail is one of them, so you shouldn’t have to open it before you’ll get notifications. If Mail isn’t working this way, check your settings as described above to rectify the situation. If other apps aren’t throwing notifications before you open them, they likely aren’t able to. You’ll need to open the app and then switch away from it to allow it stay open. Take a look here for more information on that. If a given app doesn’t appear in the PC Settings’ “Show notifications from these apps” section, they likely aren’t programmed to throw notifications. I hope this helps. Let me know if you have any other questions.

I’ve had my new Windows 8 laptop for a couple of weeks. When I first started using it, I got an audible alert and an on-screen notification when I got new Outlook 2013 email. Also when I switched on my laptop it made an audible tune sound after I’d typed in my password to start up. Neither of these things happen any more. I’ve checked all the settings as per the above and notifications are all set to be on, but nothing is happening any more. Any ideas?
