Hello,


I see a "notifications" icon in the Windows 10 task bar, which tells me I have new notifications. Yet when I click on the icon, I can't don't see any notification at all.


I already tried:

1. sfc /scannow
2. DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Scanhealth
3. Clean install: 1511 -> 1703 -> 1803

On sfc:


Beginning system scan. This process will take some time.

Beginning verification phase of system scan.
Verification 100% complete.

Windows Resource Protection did not find any integrity violations.


On DISM:


Deployment Image Servicing and Management tool
Version: 10.0.17134.1

Image Version: 10.0.17134.320

[==========================100.0%==========================] No component store corruption detected.
The operation completed successfully.



None of these help with the issue. I still see a"notifications" icon in the Windows 10 task bar, which tells me I have new notifications. Yet when I click on the icon, I can't don't see any notification at all.

:)

Hi John,

Thank you for your response.

We sincerely regret for the inconvenience caused.

I suggest you to follow the below steps and check if it helps:

If the icon is hidden from the task bar, you can enable it by using the following steps. The icon might be hidden. Here's how to show the battery icon:

  Properties.
• Under Notification area, click
  Customize.
• In Notification Area Icons, click on Select
  which icons appear on Taskbar.
• On in the drop-down list next to
  Power, and then click OK.

If the issue still persists you can try Updating the latest Power management driver software for Windows 10 from the manufacturer website.
