    Hello,


    Originally, I posted this question in the default group (per the form), but got only 1 reply and no follow up (after a week). I'm posting in the update group because I ONLY saw this problem start after applying update KB4458469 (or maybe it was KB4100347 - saw it starting in September 2018).



    I see a "notifications" icon in the Windows 10 task bar, which tells me I have new notifications. Yet when I click on the icon, I can't don't see any notification at all.


    I already tried:

    1. sfc /scannow
    2. DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Scanhealth
    3. Clean install: 1511 -> 1703 -> 1803
    4. Latest updates from Microsoft (e.g. KB4100347 / KB4458469 / KB4462919)

    On sfc:


    Beginning system scan. This process will take some time.

    Beginning verification phase of system scan.
    Verification 100% complete.

    Windows Resource Protection did not find any integrity violations.


    On DISM:


    Deployment Image Servicing and Management tool
    Version: 10.0.17134.1

    Image Version: 10.0.17134.320

    [==========================100.0%==========================] No component store corruption detected.
    The operation completed successfully.



    None of these help with the issue. I still see a"notifications" icon in the Windows 10 task bar, which tells me I have new notifications. Yet when I click on the icon, I can't don't see any notification at all.


    In case someone wants to see the issue with their own eyes, please, checkout this image on Flickr: (I tried to add (via edit) the image but the submit button never functioned correctly.)

    Edited: Second Image URL (showing the issue w/Bluetooth off): https://www.flickr.com/photos/10283584@N05/30423564537/in/dateposted/


    Please notice:

    1. The notification icon show the number 1, which means there is 1 new notification.
    2. Yet, the notification area shows "No new notification."
    3. The Bluetooth button is in RED, but even after getting to return to the default color the "1" does not go away.

    :)

  3. Task Bar Icons Windows 10

    Hi John,

    Thank you for your response.

    We sincerely regret for the inconvenience caused.

    I suggest you to follow the below steps and check if it helps:

    If the icon is hidden from the task bar, you can enable it by using the following steps. The icon might be hidden. Here's how to show the battery icon:

    • Right-click an empty area on the taskbar, and then click
      Properties.
    • Under Notification area, click
      Customize.
    • In Notification Area Icons, click on Select
      which icons appear on Taskbar.
    • On in the drop-down list next to
      Power, and then click OK.
    If the issue still persists you can try Updating the latest Power management driver software for Windows 10 from the manufacturer website.

    Please let us know if you need further assistance.

    Thank you.

    battery icon on task bar

    Hi Pete,

    Windows 10 has a feature to personalize your task bar icons. To retrieve the missing battery icon on your taskbar, kindly follow the steps below:

    • Right click on the taskbar and select Settings.
    • Under Notification Area, click Turn system icons on or off.
    • Look for Power and toggle Power to On. Your battery icon should appear in the system tray again.

    Let us know if this worked.
