Windows 11 Notifications No Longer Working

Anonymous

I am on Windows 11 22H2 and also use Office Professional Plus 2021.
Since a couple of days (most probably after a cumulative Windows update) I no longer get push notifications and sound alerts in notification center.
Most importantly for me, I no longer get a sound (and envelope) alert from Outlook for new email message arrivals.

I checked every solution I came across on support pages related this issue, double checking my system notifications settings, disabling Do Not Disturb, turning of Focus, checked my sound settings, made sure my apps are included in Notification settings, did SFC and DISM scans etc. I also repaired my Office installation just in case, even created a rule for new email arrival sound in Outlook. Nothing helped...

22H2 has been very problematic for me at the start but was ok until now.
I suspect the issue may be related to the cumulative 22H2 update that came a few days ago.

Is this a known problem?

    This isn't affecting just you and it isn't just Win 11!!

    This has been going on since July and has affected all mail and outlook notifications

    I have done all the same and nothing fixed it

    BUT

    I have it on other devices as do other people I know.

    This is a MS issue, NOT your issue!

    The reason it hasn't been fixed is because MS only fix bugs with tons of upvotes on feedback hub!

    Most people don't bother with feedback hub so nothing gets fixed.

    Can everyone with this issue at least take 2 seconds to click upvote on my report about this issue??

    Also report it yourself on feedback hub too, but at least upvote other reports.

    My report about outlook notifications: https://aka.ms/AAmuo0u There are other reports too, but unless we get lots of upvotes on one post, this will never get fixed.

    I have been trying to get this fixed since July by posting on here, feedback hub and Twitter, but it seems I am the only one trying to get it fixed.

    No upvotes = nothing will get done as that is how they fix bugs. upvotes.

    I'm sorry to hear that.

    Stop & Restart Windows Push Notification System Service

    1. Open the Run dialog on your Windows 11 PC, type Services.msc in it, and press Enter to open the Services tab.
    2. In the Services, search for the Windows Push Notification System Service and double-tap on it to move to the properties section.'
    3. Now, select Stop in the Service status section to halt it, and then click on the Restart option to reinstate it again.

    Repair Windows Apps

    1. So first, open the Windows Powershell app on your Windows 11 PC with administrative privileges.
    2. Subsequently, execute the below commands one-by-one in the console to repair the Windows apps.

    Get-AppxPackage Microsoft.Windows.ShellExperienceHost | foreach {Add-AppxPackage -register "$($_.InstallLocation)\appxmanifest.xml" -DisableDevelopmentMode}

    Get-AppXPackage | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml"}

    1. Once done, restart your system and check if the issue is fixed.

    Re-Register Action Center

    1. Open the Windows Search Box, type Windows PowerShell, and select Run as administrator under the app to run it with admin rights.
    2. Next, paste the below command into the Windows PowerShell program and press the Enter key to execute it.

    Get-AppxPackage | % { Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "$($_.InstallLocation)\AppxManifest.xml" -verbose }

    Keep me posted with the result. Thank you.

    Hello! My name is Mostafa; I will assist you today.

    I’m sorry that you are experiencing this issue. This seems to be a common issue with Windows 11.

    Please try some of the solutions mentioned in this article https://www.guidingtech.com/top-ways-to-fix-not...

    Try resetting the notification settings. Open the Command Prompt as an administrator and run the following command:

    reg delete HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Notifications\Settings /va /f

    If none steps helped, create another local account to see if the issue persists.

    Please let me know the result. Thank you.

    I have this problem right now too. I can not get Google Chrome to send me notifications because it does not appear in the Notifications settings.

    EDIT:

    I got help and found the fix for Chrome not showing up! You just need to prompt it to give a notification first!

    To do so go on: https://www.bennish.net/web-notifications.html
