Why cant I see notifications on my PC?

What are Windows 10 notifications? These are notifications within the Windows operating system that let you know what is going on, whether it is something as simple as needing to turn on your antivirus software to update your computer, Besides Windows 10 notifications specifically, Windows allows other apps and software to send you notifications.

Sometimes these notifications are helpful and sometimes you’d rather not see them. Maybe you only want to see certain notifications. Regardless of the app, platform, or operating system, digital notifications can become overcrowded with notifications. 

It’s very important you customize notifications to avoid being overwhelmed with a bunch of notifications you don’t want to see. Luckily, you can adjust Windows 10 notifications in the Action Center.

Windows 10 Notifications Not Working

How do you solve Windows 10 notifications not working? Well, this issue depends on what you mean by not working right. Are you getting too many notifications? Are you not getting enough notifications? Are you not getting any notifications at all? The reason will probably be simple. 

It will almost always have to do with the settings for your notifications. The key is to turn on the notifications you want and turn off the notifications you don’t want. 

The problem is, some apps and software do one or the other by default and there is no way of knowing which is which without going into the Action Center and making manual adjustments yourself.
