What causes the Unsubscribe button not to work?

You have corrupt files on your computer – Corruption can mess with many important computer functions. It’s for this reason that you should run an SFC scan to clear it up. Missing or broken files interrupt services – Similarly, missing components can mess up your computer too. For this reason, it’s recommended that you run some repair tools like Restoro. Administrator settings are incorrectly configured – The workplace admin who controls Viva may have the wrong settings activated, forcing everyone to get emails even if they don’t want them.
