Windows 10: Some App Notifications Not Glowing on Taskbar

I have a couple of apps on my computer that are acting weird. Facebook Messenger and Telegram. Both of them get the little red badge with the number of unread messages, but neither flash/glow yellow or cause the taskbar to unhide, which makes it very easy to miss messages. I get the glow and unhide for other apps, just not these. Messenger was downloaded from the Microsoft store and is saved to my local machine. However, I downloaded the mobile moveable, not cell version of Telegram to a flash drive and run it from there since it takes up so much room and was causing my personal photos

Stop taskbar from not autohiding when receiving notifications

Hi Mikael,

Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.

When the ‘Auto-hide’ feature for the Windows taskbar is enabled, the taskbar will stay hidden until an application needs your attention. For regular apps like ‘Skype’, the application’s taskbar icon starts flashing when there is
a notification. You can simply click on the glowing taskbar icon to let the application know that you have seen the notification and the task bar will ‘Auto-hide’ once again. It is the same for the background system applications in the system tray, however,
in Windows 10 these system notifications go away on their own and you can view them later in ‘Action Centre’.

This feature of Windows 10 is by design. Which means that this can be solved either by letting the application know that you have seen its notification by clicking on it and viewing it once or by configuring it to stop notifying.

I would suggest you to check the ‘Notifications and actions’ settings in the ‘Settings’ application. Please follow the steps below.

1. Press the ‘Windows’ key and ‘I’ key together, this will open the ‘Settings’ application.
   
2. Click on ‘System’ and select ‘Notification & actions’ from the options on the left.
   
3. Scroll down to find ‘Get notifications from apps and other senders’, you can toggle it ‘Off’ to stop receiving notifications or you could scroll down to toggle ‘Off’ the notifications from the individual applications.
   
4. Some applications will have settings within the application itself to prevent the notification. I suggest you check with that as well.
