Notifications disappear when clicking on them

All of that on a fresh windows install? For real? It never worked... Everything is up to date and drivers installed.

That's the repairs that work most often for Notifications, and in case those don't work a checklist to go over your install to assure it's integrity and find and fix any problems.

Did you not want all possible steps to fix this? You just said it never worked. Didn't you want to fix it? This is computer science, not a lawnmower. Fixes can be complicated and involved and require utmost thoroughness.

You have one of the most experienced tech experts on the web helping you. If you will work with me it will most certainly get fixed by whatever means necessary.

Hi DSD. I'm Greg, 10 years awarded Windows MVP, here to help you.

Try these fixes for notification issues in Windows 11:

Go over WIndows 11 with this checklist to find and fix problems:

1. See if you can System Restore to a point before the problem started:

System Restore is your first line of defense and can take you back to a point before a problem began like a time machine. If it doesn't help then you can undo it. Read about it first in the tutorial above and then try restoring to just before this started. If System Restore is not enabled on C drive do that now so it's available in the future.

If the problem repeats or System Restore doesn't work then check which Windows Updates were installed at Settings > Update & Security > Windows Updates > Update History, uninstall them there or System Restore again, then immediately check for and block the Updates with the Hide Updates tool explained here: https://www.droidwin.com/how-to-stop-only-a-spe...

2. Update your drivers from the PC maker's Support Downloads webpage for your exact model. While there check for the latest Chipset, BIOS, Sound, Network, USB3, Bluetooth and all other drivers to compare with the version/date installled for that device in Device Manager reached by right clicking the Start Menu.

If the drivers are not present or not working for Facial Recognition or Fingerprint then contact your PC manufacturer's Support.

3. Expedite install of all Windows Updates in Settings > Update & Security > Windows Update > Check for Updates, including needed restarts, then go back to check again until no more are offered.

Then go into Microsoft Store app > My Library > Get Updates and expedite all Store app Updates, too, until no more are offered.

4. Run a full Windows 11 Disk Check: https://allthings.how/how-to-run-chkdsk-in-wind...
5. Establish a Clean Boot to turn off Startup Freeloaders that can conflict and cause issues:

6. Download, install and run a full scan with free Malwarebyes from https://www.malwarebytes.com/mwb-download/ after enabling Root Kit scan in Scan Settings. Clean Up anything it finds and then run again. Turn off Real Time trial in Control panel to keep as on-demand scanner.
7. Run System File Checker/DISM in WIndows 11:

8. If that doesn't fix it then you can do a Windows 11 Repair Upgrade which reinstalls Windows while saving your files and apps in place, brings it up to the latest version by the most stable method, takes about an hour and resolves most problems: https://www.elevenforum.com/t/repair-install-wi...

Feel free to ask back any questions. Based on the results you post back I may have other suggestions if necessary.
