    Hello."Show badges on taskbar buttons" is locked and sturdier than the walls of Moria for some unknown reason. Help a Hobbit out? I want to see notifications on my messaging apps. Now I never know if someone's messaged me.

    Hi Runer,

    I am Sumit here to assist you with this question.

    Turn off the smaller Taskbar buttons - it should enable the badges slider. Badges are not supported when Smaller taskbar buttons are used, by design.

    Hope that helps.

    Just an fyi: If you have <Use small badges> turned on; the <Show badges on taskbar buttons? will be greyed out and the badges will not display.

    What are Taskbar Badges

    Hello JJG10, Can't turn on "Show badges on taskbar buttons" :)

    The tutorial below can help give you more details about taskbar button badges. These badges are lightweight notifications that are contextual and specific to individual apps. For example, the Mail apps badge shows you the number of unseen emails (not unread). The Alarms & Clock app’s badge will show you that you have an active alarm. The Weather app’s badge lets you know when there is a weather alert in the area.
