Action Center stopped working after 1809

So I just realized that I am not getting any notifications, I check with several programs and with Notifications Visualizer app from the store.
The weirdest thing is that the speech bubble icon shows the notification count correctly but no notification sound or toast is displayed when the notification arrives and on top of that, after opening the action center itself, the notifications don't appear in the list, it's completely empty.

I tried to create a new user and without even restarting the pc, I just logged off and switched account, the notifications work on the other account.

Focus assist is disabled, I double checked.

Do you happen to know any way to reset the action center?
The event viewer lists:

Toast with notification tracking id 46 is being delivered to 58300WindowsNotifications.NotificationsVisualizer_8rkfj2ay7vd1w!App on session 1.

Start Toast Notification Forwarding activity

Stop Toast Notification Forwarding activity



58300WindowsNotifications.NotificationsVisualizer_8rkfj2ay7vd1w!App looks like an app, maybe reinstalling it could fix the issue?

Yep, the same as moonfaceddr.

For me, the problem seems to be related to sleep mode / hibernate. After a full restart, notifications work correctly. But after hibernate / sleep wakeup they work for a few times and then stop in a strange way - the notification counter goes up but there is no sound and when I open the action center, it says there are no new notifications.

If I forcibly restart Windows Explorer process from Task Manager, then the stuck notification counter gets cleaned up, but still the broken behavior remains.
