Keep having to re-register ACTION CENTER to get notifications

Everytime Windows is restarted, I have to re-register ACTION CENTER to get start getting notifications. Why is this happening and how can I prevent this from keep happening?

Steps to reproduce:

1. Reboot computer
   
2. Force any notification to be shown. Examples on how to do it:
   
   • Open HTML5 Web Notifications Test - Bennish.net in Chrome, enable notifications with "Authorize" button and then show the notification with "Show" button.
     
   • Open Alarms and Clock in windows and set a timer for 10 seconds.
     
3. No notification will be shown
   
4. Open PowerShell with administration privileges and run Get-AppxPackage | % { Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "$($_.InstallLocation)\AppxManifest.xml" -verbose }
   
5. Force any notification to be shown
   
6. Notification will be shown
   

 

Action Center not showing notifications

Action Center shows that I have notifications. However, when I open the Action Center there are no notifications; notifications not showing.
This problem started after the Feature update to Windows 10, version 1809 which was installed on 10/2.

I tried these suggestions and none of them fixed the problem:

Notifications ARE turned on

sfc /scannow - No integrity violations

DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Scanhealth - No component store corruption

Someone suggested deleting C:\Users\xxxxx\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\usrclass.dat

Ran Get-AppxPackage | % { Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "$($_.InstallLocation)\AppxManifest.xml" -verbose }
