Good evening. I had been using X on my desktop and I could access the settings through X directly or Windows 10 Home 'Get notifications from these senders menu.' I had downloaded the X App from the Microsoft store but had seen it was connected via Edge and could be opened in Edge. About a day ago none of my X notifications were coming across my desktop. I went to the 'Get notifications' and it was missing from the list but still accessible through the Start Menu. I initially went to the Edge Browser and went to X.com. Push notifications were off and when I tried to reset them it said it was incompatible with my browser. I cleaned the cache, cookies, etc. for all time. I went to Edge Settings, allowed notifications and pop-ups to x.com and when I went back could allow push notifications. So x.com via Edge is set and Edge is set for notifications. I uninstalled and reinstalled the X App and everything is good to go. But the get notifications menu is still missing X. Because I cleared Edge out I wonder if it will come back once I get a notification. But I'm not sure.

Using the version from the Microsoft Store can be a bit confusing to me. It’s technically a PWA installed through Edge, but it doesn’t show up in edge://apps, which is unexpected. That’s why I suggested installing the website as an app through Chrome instead, so you can compare the behavior and see if there’s any difference.
I did just that but I'm not sure if it makes a difference. I downloaded the X app from the Microsoft store as an app, but it has a link to open in Edge.
I downloaded chrome and downloaded x as an app but it shows a link to open in chrome. In the start menu now it shows under File-Chrome Apps The X app.
Just checked the app again from the Store and it looks like the name hasn’t changed, but the app is actually a PWA (Progressive Web App), essentially a website installed as an app. That explains why it routes through Edge. However, I’m not sure why it doesn’t show up in edge://apps, where it normally should since it’s a PWA. That said, I suggest you test the following:
I am using a desktop PC with Windows 10 home and no power settings besides the display closing after 10 minutes. As I said I don't use sleep. But as soon as I got back on tonight all the notifications popped up with sound. I'm not sure why when I downloaded the app it routes through Edge, though.
I see. In that case, the issue might not be related to the app or the browser anymore. Are you using a laptop or a desktop PC? Also, is Battery Saver turned on?
