Windows 10 Facebook and Messenger app not showing notifications

We appreciate you for providing the information to us.

If the Messenger app doesn't show on the list under Notifications & Actions, it's possible that there are too many apps that are using the push notification. There is a limit to the number of apps you have installed that has push notifications enabled. You
may consider removing other apps that are not in use and check if it helps.

In addition, you can also try to check the Default App for Protocol to prioritize Messenger as the default. To do this, follow the steps listed below:

• Type Default app settings in the Search bar.
• Click Choose default apps by protocol.
• Look for the Messenger app then click on it.
• Restart PC and check if it works.
  

Let us know how it goes after performing the suggested steps.

 

Facebook messenger app

Hi,

Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.

I understand you can’t get FB messenger to work on your PC. It can be difficult when something does not work as expected. We are here to help you fix the issue. We will work as a team and get this sorted out.

To isolate your concern with the FB messenger,
we would need some information.

1. Are you aware of any changes made on your computer before this issue occurred?
   
2. What is the error message you are receiving while using messenger?
   
3. Did you download Facebook messenger from Microsoft store?
   
4. Which build of Windows 10 is running on your system?
   

Press the Windows logo key +
R, type
winver in theOpenbox, and then select
OK to find out which version of Windows your device is running.

I suggest you to try the following methods and check:

Method 1: Fix issues with app downloaded from the Microsoft Store.

I would suggest you to refer the article to

Method 2: Run Sfc scan.

System File Checker is a utility in Windows that allows users to scan for corruptions in Windows system files and restore corrupted files.

I suggest you to run the
System File Checker (SFC) scan to fix any corrupted files.

We await your response.

Thanks,
