Windows settings issue: can't access notification settings in Windows 11

Question

Windows settings issue:

no matter how I try to go there, Notification settings won't come up. It just doesn't do anything.

No error. This is affecting all workstations in my (enterprise) environment.

Latest OS version.

We had this issue 6 months ago, and it went away ... we were also able to solve it in some cases with this powershell command as admin:
Get-AppxPackage windows.immersivecontrolpanel | Reset-AppxPackage

but, problem came back ... and the above hasn't worked to make it go away again.

Anybody else seen this? Known bug? inTune compliance thing?

Thanks for any insights folks can provide.

Hello,

Thank you for posting in Q&A forum.

Based on the information you have provided, I suggest you try the following methods to see if you can solve the problem:

1. Press the Win+R shortcut key to open the running window, type gpedit.msc, and then confirm to open the Group Policy editor.
2. Navigate to Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Control Panel

Double-click the Settings Page Visibility policy on the right.

3. Select the Enabled option and enter showonly: notifications

4. Click Apply and OK.

I hope the information above is helpful.

I tried the above and the "Notifications and Actions" settings page still doesn't open.

Still an issue.
