Windows 10: Google Chrome Notifications in Windows Action Center Won't Load Pages When Clicked

With the most recent update to Google Chrome, push notifications are now in the Action Center. This would be fine, if clicking said push notifications actually opened the page referred to IN the notification (example would be YouTube video notifications for subscribed channels). Instead, it just makes the notification disappear. How can this be fixed? At it is, seeing a notification for something and then having to go manually search for the item is beyond useless, and defeats the entire purpose of a push notification. Thanks for any assistance provided in advance!

problem uninstalling google chrome

Hi,

Since you already uninstalled Google Chrome using the Programs and Features, Google notifications may still be running in the background processes. We suggest that you follow these steps on how to end the Google Chrome process:

• On your keyboard, press Ctrl+Alt+Delete.
• Select Task Manager.
• Under Processes, locate Google Notifications or Google Chrome.
• Right click on them and select End Task.
• Double check under Programs and Features if Google Chrome is completely gone.

Let us know if these steps worked.

 

Action Center notifications launching Win Store on click


Greetings everyone,

A new quirk occurred that I haven't found a solution for yet. It started several days ago, maybe after an update, but not sure:

• When a toast pops up, like a news alert, I go to the Action Center slide-out and click the news title to launch the article.
• The click launches the Windows Store and takes me to the page to download the MSN News app, although it's already installed and working. There's a blue button to 'Launch' it. (see screen capture)
• When I click the 'Launch' button, it then launches the MSN News app and takes me to the article that the toast notified me of.

I'm perplexed. How do I fix this so that the toast or headline in the Action Center opens the news app/article, instead of the store?

Thank you.
