I've tried my useless colleagues so I thought I'd try a more knowledgeable bunch of people
Set up: Windows 10, outlook 2016 'Ease of Access' options set to flash Screen for sound
The flash screen is annoying, but at least I am notified wne the computer goes beep. Except...
When I get a reminder there is already the known issue of the reminder pop-up not appearing on top of other apps. But the flash screen doesn't, which is the one notification I really do need to know about.
so, any gurus out there got any solutions that do not require the download of software, this is not tightfistedness, its my work PC (I'm a more discerning IT user at home) so there are limited things I can do.
