Mail Notification Question

WillWord said:

I have had similar problems, random notifications, not able to open mail app, etc. Solution for me was I stopped running Malwarebytes Pro on start up. Notifications now working, mail app now working.��

Never considered Malwarebytes might be causing the problem. I'll disable it tonight and see if that fixes the problem.

I found something interesting on the MBAM forum. Here is a quote from the forum.

"Upgrading the Windows OS on top of an existing version can have unpredictable side effects, especially for security programs."

The recommended solution from MBAM is to uninstall and reinstall MBAM using the Clean Removal Process. Additional details can be found here.

Personally, I think the reverse is also true Security programs can have unpredictable side effects on the OS upgrade. I wish I had thought of disabling NORTON and MBAM before starting my Windows 10 upgrade.

I am currently saving my files to my 1 TB external hard drive, then I am going to uninstall MBAM and Norton (already uninstalled using the Norton Removal Tool). After that I am planning to do a CLEAN INSTALL of WINDOWS 10.

Nothing has changed. This app sux :/

Well, any app sucks when they don't work correctly. Don't blame you for using something else if your mail is important. Even if for the time being. I'm retired so my situation is different, besides I have 8.1 to fall back on.

You report there's a fix on the way, so it won't be long.

Just to clarify are you saying in MBAM Pro "Advanced Settings" uncheck Start Malwarebytes Anti- malware with Windows?
I am going to check the MBAM forum for any notices.
I completely uninstalled Norton Security Suite and things seem better but that has happened before then gone back to bad. I think it is too soon to say uninstalling Norton is a fix. I am using Defender for now.

Correct, until its fixed I will just use MBAM on demand, Mail has not missed a beat since turning MBAM off. Its working for me but it seems lots of people are having different antivirus issues.

I don't want to get everyones hopes up but my mail and calendar alerts are working now and oddly enough MS pushed out a windows update today

That's cool. Please let us know how it goes.

Although getting them, my email notification come much later in my 10 than on my Windows phone. This also leads me to believe it's a bug in a service. For me only a delay. For others, whether the app is open or closed, it must be a service that doesn't catch the ping of a server once mail arrives there.

Can you give us an update KB number. My only updates recently are defender Updates. my Mail app & notifications are not working again. Keeping a browser open with 3 tabs for email accounts.

Looks like BRKING is offline. Here's what I got today. No help with the Mail app that I know of for the main cumulative update addressed security concerns. The Mail app fix should come as an app update soon.
