Wrong Characters from Slack Notifications

Hi,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



We understand your concern as you are experiencing problems with notifications from the application Slack. Upon checking the screenshot that you have posted, we can see in the notification message that the html entities being
displayed.



In order to get clarity and to assist you accordingly, please reply with the answers to the questions below.

• What is the Windows 10 version and Build (1903/1909) installed? (Type
  winver in Windows search/Run command)
  
• Are you aware of any recent changes on the PC, prior to this issue?
  
• Do you see this issue on notifications for other applications?

However, most of the times the issues with toast notifications are application specific. Hence, I would suggest you to repair the app from Windows Settings.

1. Press Windows + I key to open Settings.
   
2. Click on Apps and select Apps & features from the left pane.
   
3. Search for Slack app and click on
   Advance option.
   
4. Click on Repair and check if the issue persists.
   
5. If the issue persist then Reset the app.

Note: Resetting the app will not delete the data but you need to reconfigure it with the email account that you were using prior to the reset.



Also refer this article from slacks and check if it helps: Guide to desktop notifications



If the issue still persists, then please contact (click the link and select Help Centre under resources)
Slack forum
for further investigation on this issue.



We await your response.

(SOLVED/CLOSED)looking for help with Android phone CONSTANT wireless signal notification

Yeah, thats not a solution she is interested in......I've suggested that course of action. Thanks though.

Just to clarify, I feel that there MUST be a step, or series of steps to turn off JUST the wireless notification sound. Thats what Im driving @ here.

 

Private Message Notifications

Not a bad feature suggestion as it saves you time getting to the gist of the message. EVGA, Anandtech, and OCN has the feature on their site.
