Notification no longer appearing in notifications centre

Question

Hi,

I have Windows 11 Professional (Version:22H2 Build:22621.1555) installed on my PC. Notifications are displayed as usual and a small blue number appears in the bottom right hand corner of the screen.

However, recently, when the notification disappears so does the small blue number. When clicking on the bottom right hand corner of the screen the notifications panel appears but now it is always empty.

Before (about a month or so ago) I would receive notifications on the screen. After they disappeared they would be shown when clicking in the bottom right hand corner of the screen. I could then remove them by clicking on the cross next to the notification in the usual way.

Now if I receive a notification and I am not at my PC the notification is effectively lost. Is there any way to revert back to the notifications being stored until I click on them to be removed?

Any help much appreciated.

P.S. I have tried the steps outlined in the following link with no success:
